DECLARATION  OF  INDEPENDENCE. 

0 

IN  CONGEESS,  TUESDAY,  JULY  i,  1776. 

Agreeably  to  the  order  of  the  day,  the  Congress  resolved 
itself  into  a committee  of  the  whole,  to  take  into  their  further 
consideration  the  Declaration ; and,  after  some  time,  the  Pres- 
ident resumed  the  chair,  and  Mr.  Harrison  reported  that  the 
committee  had  agreed  to  a declaration,  which  they  desired 
him  to  report.  (The  committee  consisted  of  Jefferson,  Frank- 
lin, John  Adams,  Sherman,  and  R.  R.  Livingston.) 

The  Declaration  being  read,  was  agreed  to,  as  follows : 

A DECLARATION 

BY  THE  REPRESENTATIVES  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES  OF  AMERICA, 

IN  CONGRESS  ASSEMBLED. 

When,  in  the  course  of  human  events,  it  becomes  necessary 
for  one  people  to  dissolve  the  political  bands  which  have  con- 
nected them  with  another,  and  to  assume  among  the  powers 
of  the  earth  the  separate  and  equal  station  to  which  the  laws 
of  nature  and  of  nature’s  God  entitle  them,  a decent  respect 
for  the  opinions  of  mankind  requires  that  they  should  declare 
the  causes  which  impel  them  to  the  separation. 

We  hold  these  truths  to  be  self-evident:  that  all  men  are 
created  equal;  that  they  are  endowed  by  their  Creator  with 
certain  inalienable  rights ; that  among  these  are  life,  liberty, 
and  the  pursuit  of  happiness.  That,  to  secure  these  rights, 
governments  are  instituted  among  men,  deriving  their  just 
powers  from  the  consent  of  the  governed ; that,  whenever  any 
form  of  government  becomes  destructive  of  these  ends,  it  is 
the  right  of  the  people  to  alter  or  to  abolish  it,  and  to  institute 
a new  government,  laying  its  foundation  on  such  principles, 

(3;

DECLAKA.TIOF  OP  INDEPENDENCE. 


and  organizing  its  powers  in  such  form,  as  to  them  shall  seem 
most  likely  to  effect  their  safety  and  hapjoiness.  Prudence, 
indeed,  will  dictate  that  governments  long  established  should 
not  be  changed  for  light  and  transient  causes ; and,  accordingly, 
all  experience  hath  shown  that  mankind  are  more  disposed  to 
suffer,  while  evils  are  sufferable,  than  to  right  themselves  by 
abolishing  the  forms  to  which  they  are  accustomed.  But, 
when  a long  train  of  abuses  and  usurpations,  pursuing  invari- 
ably the  same  object,  evinces  a design  to  reduce  them  under 
absolute  despotism,  it  is  their  right,  it  is  their  duty,  to  throw 
off  such  government,  and  to  provide  new  guards  for  their  future 
security.  Such  has  been  the  patient  sufferance  of  these  colo- 
nies, and  such  is  now  the  necessity  which  constrains  them  to 
alter  their  former  systems  of  government.  The  history  of  the 
present  King  of  Great  Britain  is  a history  of  repeated  injuries 
and  usurpations,  all  having,  in  direct  object,  the  establishment 
of  an  absolute  tyranny  over  these  States.  To  prove  this,  let 
facts  be  submitted  to  a candid  world : 

He  has  refused  his  assent  to  laws  the  most  wholesome  and 
necessary  for  the  public  good. 

He  has  forbidden  his  Governors  to  pass  laws  of  immediate 
and  pressing  importance,  unless  suspended  in  their  operation 
till  his  assent  should  be  obtained ; and,  when  so  suspended,  he 
has  utterly  neglected  to  attend  to  them. 

He  has  refused  to  pass  other  laws  for  the  accommodation  of 
large  districts  of  people  unless  those  people  would  relinquish 
the  right  of  representation  in  the  legislature — a right  inestim- 
able to  them,  and  formidable  to  tyrants  only. 

He  has  called  together  legislative  bodies  at  places  unusual, 
uncomfortable,  and  distant  from  the  depository  of  their  public 
records,  for  the  sole  purpose  of  fatiguing  them  into  compliance 
with  his  measures. 

He  has  dissolved  representative  houses  repeatedly  for  oppos- 
ing, with  manly  firmness,  his  invasions  on  the  rights  of  the 
people. 

He  has  refused,  for  a long  time  after  such  dissolutions,  to 
cause  others  to  be  elected;  whereby  the  legislative  powers, 
mcapable  of  annihilation,  have  returned  to  the  people  at  large 
for  their  exercise,  the  State  remaining,  in  the  meantime,  ex- 


DECLARATION  OP  INDEPENDENCE. 


5 


posed  to  all  the  danger  of  invasion  from  without,  and  convul- 
sions within. 

He  has  endeavored  to  prevent  the  population  of  these 
States ; for  that  purpose,  obstructing  the  laws  for  naturaliza- 
tion of  foreit  ners  ; refusing  to  pass  others  to  encourage  their 
emigration  hither,  and  raising  the  conditions  of  new  appro- 
priations of  lands. 

He  has  obstructed  the  administration  of  justice,  by  refus- 
ing his  assent  to  laws  for  establishing  judiciary  powers. 

He  has  made  judges  dependent  on  his  will  alone  for  the 
tenure  of  their  offices  and  the  amount  and  payment  of  their 
salaries. 

He  has  erected  a multitude  of  new  offices,  and  sent  hither 
swarms  of  officers  to  harass  our  people,  and  eat  out  their  sub- 
stances. 

He  has  kept  among  us,  in  times  of  peace,  standing  armies, 
without  the  consent  of  our  legislature. 

He  has  affected  to  render  the  military  independent  of,  and 
superior  to,  the  civil  power. 

He  has  combined,  with  others,  to  subject  us  to  a jurisdiction 
foreign  to  our  constitution,  and  unacknowledged  by  our  laws; 
giving  his  assent  to  their  acts  of  pretended  legislation: 

For  quartering  large  bodies  of  armed  troops  among  us; 

For  protecting  them,  by  mock  trial,  from  punishment,  for 
any  murders  which  they  should  commit  on  the  inhabitants  of 
these  States; 

For  cutting  off  our  trade  with  all  parts  of  the  world ; 

For  imposing  taxes  on  us  without  our  consent; 

For  depriving  us,  in  many  cases,  of  the  benefits  of  trial  by 
jury. 

For  transporting  us  beyond  seas  to  be  tried  for  pretended 
offenses. 

For  abolishing  the  free  system  of  English  laws  in  a neigh- 
boring province,  establishing  therein  an  arbitary  government, 
and  enlarging  its  boundaries,  so  as  to  render  it  at  once  an  ex- 
ample and  fit  instrument  for  introducing  the  same  absolute 
rule  into  these  colonies  ; 

For  taking  away  our  charters,  abolishing  our  most  valuable 


6 


DBCiARATION  OF  INDEPENDENCE. 


laws,  and  altering,  fundamentally,  the  powers  of  our  govern- 
ments ; 

For  suspending  our  own  legislature,  and  declaring  them- 
selves invested  with  power  to  legislate  for  us  in  all  cases 
whatsoever. 

He  has  abdicated  government  here,  by  declaring  us  out  of 
his  protection,  and  waging  war  against  us. 

He  has  plundered  our  seas,  ravaged  our  coast,  burnt  our 
towns,  and  destroyed  the  lives  of  our  people. 

He  is,  at  this  time,  transporting  large  armies  of  foreign  mer- 
cenaries to  complete  the  works  of  death,  desolation,  and  ty- 
ranny, already  begun,  with  circumstances  of  cruelty  and  per- 
fidy scarcely  paralleled  in  the  most  barbarous  ages,  and  totally 
unworthy  the  head  of  a civilized  nation. 

He  has  constrained  our  fellow-citizens,  taken  captive  on  the 
high  seas,  to  bear  arms  against  their  country,  to  become  the 
executioners  of  their  friends  and  brethren,  or  to  fall  themselves 
by  their  hands. 

He  has  excited  domestic  insurrections  amongst  us,  and  has 
endeavored  to  bring  on  the  inhabitants  of  our  frontiers,  the 
merciless  Indian  savages,  whose  known  rule  of  warfare  is  an 
undistinguished  destruction,  of  all  ages,  sexes,  and  conditions. 

In  every  stage  of  these  oppressions,  we  have  petitioned  for 
redress,  in  the  most  humble  terms ; our  repeated  petitions  have 
been  answered  only  by  repeated  injury.  A prince,  whose 
character  is  thus  marked  by  every  act  which  may  define  a ty- 
rant, is  unfit  to  be  the  ruler  of  a free  people. 

Nor  have  we  been  wanting  in  attention  to  our  British  breth- 
ren. We  have  warned  them,  from  time  to  time,  of  attempts 
made  by  their  legislature  to  extend  an  unwarrantable  jurisdic- 
tion over  us.  We  have  reminded  them  of  the  circumstances 
of  our  emigration  and  settlement  here.  We  have  appealed 
to  their  native  justice  and  magnanimity,  and  we  have  conjured 
them,  by  the  ties  of  our  common  kindred,  to  disavow  the^;e 
usurpations,  which  would  inevitably  interrupt  our  connections 
and  c irrespondence.  They,  too,  have  been  deaf  to  the  voice 
of  justice  and  consanguinity.  We  must,  therefore,  acquiesce 
in  the  necessity,  which  denounces  our  separation,  and  hold

them,  as  we  hold  the  rest  of  mankind,  enemies  in  war — in 
peace,  friends. 

We,  therefore,  the  representatives  of  the  UNITED  STATES 
OF  AMERICA,  in  GENERAL  CONGRESS  assembled,  ap- 
pealing to  the  Supreme  Judge  of  the  World  for  the  rectitude 
of  our  intentions,  do,  in  the  name,  and  by  the  authority  of  the 
good  people  of  these  colonies,  solemnly  publish  and  declare, 
That  these  United  Colonies  are,  and  of  right  ought  to  be. 
Free  and  Independent  States  ; that  they  are  absolved  from  all 
allegiance  to  the  British  crown,  and  that  all  political  connec- 
tions between  them  and  the  State  of  Great  Britain,  is,  and 
ought  to  be,  totally  dissolved;  and  that,  as  FREE  AND 
INDEPENDENT  STATES,  they  have  full  power  to  levy 
war,  conclude  peace,  contract  alliances,  establish  commerce, 
and  to  do  all  other  acts  and  things  which  INDEPENDENT 
STATES  may  of  right  do.  And  for  the  support  of  this  Declara- 
tion, with  a firm  reliance  on  the  protection  of  DIVINE  PROV- 
IDENCE, we  mutually  pledge  to  each  other,  our  lives,  our 
fortunes,  and  our  sacred  honor.

OF  THE 

UNITED  STATES  OF  AMERICA. 

:0; 

We,  the  People  of  the  United  States,  in  order  to  form  a more  perfect 
Union,  establish  justice,  insure  domestic  tranquility,  provide  for  the 
common  defense,  promote  the  general  welfare,  and  secure  the  blessings 
of  liberty  to  ourselves  and  our  posterity,  do  ordain  and  establish  this 
Constitution  for  the  United  States  of  America. 

ARTICLE  I. 

Section  1.  All  the  legislative  powers  herein  granted  shall 
be  vested  in  a Congress  of  the  United  States,  which  shall  con- 
sist of  a Senate  and  House  of  Representatives. 

Sec.  2.  The  House  of  Representatives  shall  be  composed 
of  members  chosen  every  second  year  by  the  people  of  the 
several  States ; and  the  electors  in  each  State  shall  have  the 
qualifications  requisite  for  electors  of  the  most  numerous 
branch  of  the  State  Legislature. 

No  person  shall  be  a Representative  who  shall  not  have  at- 
tained to  the  age  of  twenty-five  years,  and  been  seven  years  a 
citizen  of  the  United  States,  and  who  shall  not,  when  elected, 
be  an  inhabitant  of  that  State  in  which  he  shall  be  chosen. 

Representatives  and  direct  taxes  shall  be  apportioned  among 
the  several  States  which  may  be  included  within  this  Union, 
according  to  their  respective  numbers,  which  shall  be  deter- 
mined by  adding  to  the  whole  number  of  free  persons,  includ- 
ing those  bound  to  service  for  a term  of  years,  and  excluding 
Indians  not  taxed,  three-fifths  of  all  other  persons.  The  actual 
enumeration  shall  be  made  within  three  years  after  the  first 
meeting  of  the  Congress  of  the  United  States,  and  within 

(9) 


10 


CONSTITUTION  OF  THEl 


every  subsequent  term  often  years,  in  such  manner  as  they  shall 
by  law  direct.  The  number  of  Representatives  shall  not  ex- 
ceed one  tor  every  thirty  thousand,  but  each  State  shall  have 
at  least  one  Representative  ; and  until  such  enumeration  shall 
be  made,  the  State  of  New  Hampshire  shall  be  entitled  to 
choose  three,  Massachusetts  eight,  Rhode  Island  and  Provi- 
dence Plantations  one,  Connecticut  five.  New  York  six,  New 
Jersey  four,  Pennsylvania  eight,  Delaware  one,  Maryland  six, 
Virginia  ten,  North  Carolina  five.  South  Carolina  five,  and 
Georgia  three. 

When  vacancies  happen  in  the  representation  from  any 
State,  the  Executive  authority  thereof  shall  issue  Writs  of 
Election  to  fill  such  vacancies. 

The  House  of  Representatives  shall  choose  their  Speaker  and 
other  officers ; and  shall  have  the  sole  power  of  impeachment. 

Sec.  3.  The  Senate  of  the  United  States  shall  be  composed 
of  two  Senators  from  each  State,  chosen  by  the  Legislature 
thereof,  for  six  years;  and  each  Senator  shall  have  one  vote. 

1 ramediately  after  they  shall  be  assembled  in  consequence 
of  the  first  election,  they  shall  be  divided  as  equally  as  may 
be  into  three  classes.  The  seats  of  the  Senators  of  the  first 
class  shall  be  vacated  at  the  expiration  of  the  second  year,  of 
the  second  class  at  the  expiration  of  the  fourth  year,  and  of 
the  third  class  at  the  expiration  of  the  sixth  year,  so  that  one- 
third  may  be  chosen  every  second  year ; and  if  vacancies  hap- 
pen by  resignation,  or  otherwise,  during  the  recess  of  the 
Legislature  of  any  State,  the  Executive  thereof  may  make 
temporary  appointments  until  the  next  meeting  of  the  Legis- 
lature, which  shall  then  fill  such  vacancies. 

No  person  shall  be  a Senator  who  shall  not  have  attained  to 
the  age  of  thirty  years,  and  been  nine  years  a citizen  of  the 
United  States,  and  who  shall  not,  when  elected,  be  an  inhabi- 
tant of  that  State  for  which  he  shall  be  chosen. 

The  Vice  President  of  the  United  States  shall  be  President 
of  the  Senate,  but  shall  have  no  vote,  unless  they  be  equally 
divided. 

The  Senate  shall  choose  their  other  officers,  and  also  a Pres- 
ident pro  tempore,  in  the  absence  of  the  Vice-President,  or 
when  he  shall  exercise  the  office  of  President  of  the  United 
States. 


UNITED  STATES. 


11 


The  Senate  shall  have  the  sole  power  to  try  all  impeach- 
ments. When  sitting  for  that  purpose,  they  shall  be  on  oath 
or  affirmation.  When  the  President  of  the  United  States  is 
being  tried,  the  Chief  Justice  shall  preside ; and  no  person 
shall  be  convicted  without  the  concurrence  of  two-thirds  of 
the  members  present. 

Judgment  in  cases  of  impeachment  shall  not  extend  further 
than  to  removal  from  office,  and  disqualification  to  hold  and 
enjoy  any  office  of  honor,  trust  or  profit  under  the  United 
States;  but  the  party  convicted  shall  nevertheless  be  liable 
and  subject  to  indictment,  trial,  judgment  and  punishment, 
according  to  law. 

Sec.  4.  The  times,  places,  and  manner  of  holding  elections 
for  Senators  and  Representatives,  shall  be  prescribed  in  each 
State  by  the  Legislature  thereof ; but  the  Congress  may,  at  any 
time,  by  law  make  or  alter  such  regulations,  except  as  the 
places  of  choosing  Senators. 

The  Congress  shall  assemble  at  least  once  in  every  year,  and 
such  meeting  shall  be  on  the  first  Monday  in  December,  unless 
they  shall  by  law  appoint  a different  day. 

Sec.  5.  Each  House  shall  be  the  judge  of  the  elections,  re- 
turns, and  qualifications  of  its  own  members,  and  a majority 
of  each  shall  constitute  a quorum  to  do  business  ; but  a smaller 
number  may  adjourn  from  day  to  day,  and  may  be  authorized 
to  compel  the  attendance  of  absent  members,  in  such  manner 
and  under  such  penalties  as  each  House  may  provide. 

Each  House  may  determine  the  Rules  of  its  Proceedings, 
punish  its  members  for  disorderly  behavior,  and  with  the  con- 
currence of  two-thirds,  expel  a member. 

Each  House  shall  keep  a Journal  of  its  Proceedings,  and 
from  time  to  time  publish  the  same,  excepting  such  parts  as 
may,  in  their  judgment,  require  secrecy;  and  the  yeas  and 
nays  of  the  members  of  either  House  on  any  question  shall, 
at  the  desire  of  one-fifth  of  those  present,  be  entered  on  the 
journal. 

Neither  House,  during  the  session  of  Congress,  shall,  with- 
out the  consent  of  the  other,  adjourn  for  more  than  three  days, 
nor  to  any  other  place  than  that  in  which  the  two  Houses  shall 
be  sitting. 

Sec.  6,  The  Senators  and  Representatives  shall  receive  a 
compensation  for  their  services,  to  be  ascertained  by  law  and 


12 


CONSTITUTION  OF  THE 


paid  out  of  the  treasury  of  the  United  States.  They  shall  in 
all  cases,  except  treason,  felony,  and  breach  of  the  peace,  be 
privileged  from  arrest  during  their  attendance  at  the  session 
of  their  respective  Houses,  and  in  going  to  and  returning  from 
the  same  ; and  for  any  speech  or  debate  in  either  House,  they 
shall  not  be  questioned  in  any  other  place. 

No  Senator  or  Representative  shall,  during  the  time  for 
which  he  was  elected,  be  appointed  to  any  civil  office  under 
the  authority  of  the  United  States,  which  shall  have  been  cre- 
ated, or  the  emoluments  whereof  shall  have  been  increased 
during  such  time,  and  no  person  holding  any  office  under  the 
United  States  shall  be  a member  of  either  House  during  his 
continuance  in  office. 

Sec.  7.  Ail  bills  for  raising  revenue  shall  originate  in  the 
House  of  Representatives ; but  the  Senate  may  propose  or 
concur  with  amendments  as  on  other  bills. 

Every  bill  which  shall  have  passed  the  House  of  Represen- 
tatives and  the  Senate,  shall,  before  it  becomes  a law,  be  pre- 
sented to  the  President  of  the  United  States:  If  he  approve, 
he  shall  sign  it;  but  if  not,  he  shall  return  it,  with  his  objec- 
tions, to  that  House  in  which  it  shall  have  originated,  who 
shall  enter  the  objections  at  large  on  their  Journal,  and  pro- 
ceed to  reconsider  it.  If,  after  such  reconsideration,  two-thirds 
of  that  House  shall  agree  to  pass  the  bill,  it  shall  be  sent,  to- 
gether with  the  objections,  to  the  other  House,  by  which  it 
shall  likewise  be  reconsidered,  and  if  approved  by  two-thirds 
of  that  House,  it  shall  become  a law.  But  in  all  such  cases 
the  votes  of  both  Houses  shall  be  determined  by  yeas  and 
nays,  and  the  names  of  persons  voting  for  and  against  the  bill 
shall  be  entered  on  the  Journal  of  each  House  respectively. 
If  any  bill  shall  not  be  returned  by  the  President  within  ten 
days  (Sundays  excepted)  after  it  shall  have  been  presented  to 
him,  the  same  shall  be  a law,  in  like  manner  as  if  he  had  signed

Each  State  shall  appoint,  in  such  manner  as  the  Legislature

habitant of  the  same  State  with  themselves.  And  they  shall

CONSTITUTION  OP  THE 


and  if  no  person  have  a majority,  then  from  the  five  highest

taken  by  States,  the  representation  from  each  State  having 
one  vote,  A quorum  for  this  purpose  shall  consist  of  a mem- 
ber or  members  from  two-thirds  of  the  States,  and  a majority 
of  all  the  States  shall  be  necessary  to  a choice.  In  every  case, 
after  the  choice  of  the  President,  the  person  having  the  great- 
est number  of  votes  of  the  electors  shall  be  the  Vice-President. 
But  if  there  should  remain  two  or  more  who  have  equal  votes,

dent.*]

dent within  the  United  States. 

In  case  of  the  removal  of  the  President  from  office,  or  of  his 
death,  resignation  or  inability  to  discharge  the  powers  and 
duties  of  the  said  office,  the  same  shall  devolve  on  the  Vice 
President ; and  the  Congress  may  by  law  provide  for  the  case 
of  removal,  death,  resignation,  or  inability,  both  of  the  Presi- 
dent and  Vice  President,  declaring  what  officer  shall  then  act 
as  President;  and  such  officer  shall  act  accordingly  until  the 
disability  be  removed,  or  a President  shall  be  elected. 

The  President  shall,  at  stated  times,  receive  for  his  services 
a compensation,  which  shall  neither  be  increased  nor  dimin- 
ished during  the  period  for  which  he  shall  have  been  elected ; 
and  he  shall  not  receive  within  that  period  any  other  emolu- 
ment from  the  United  States,  or  any  of  them.

formed  by  the  junction  of  two  or  more  States  or  parts  of

EMANCIPATION  PROCLAMATION. 


:0: 

Whereas^  On  the  twenty-second  day  of  September,  in  the 
year  of  our  Lord,  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  sixty-two, 
a proclamation  was  issued  by  the  President  of  the  United 
States,  containing  among  other  things  the  following,  to-wit : 
That,  on  the  first  day  of  January,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord, 
one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  sixty-three,  all  persons  held 
as  slaves  within  any  State,  or  designated  part  of  a State,  the 
people  whereof  shall  then  be  in  rebellion  against  the  United 
States,  shall  be  then,  henceforth  and  forever  free,  and  the 
Executive  Government  of  the  United  States,  including  the 
military  and  naval  authorities  thereof,  will  recognize  and 
maintain  the  freedom  of  such  persons,  or  any  of  them,  in  any 
elTorts  they  may  make  for  their  actual  freedom. 

That  the  Executive  will,  on  the  first  day  of  January  afore 
said,  by  proclamation,  designate  the  States  and  parts  of 
States,  if  any,  in  which  the  people  therein  respectively  shall 
then  be  in  rebellion  against  the  United  States,  and  the  fact 
that  any  State,  or  the  people  thereof,  shall  on  that  day  be  in 
good  faith  represented  in  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  by 
members  chosen  thereto,  at  elections  wherein  a majority  of 
The  qualified  voters  of  such  States  shall  have  participated, 
shall,  in  the  absence  of  strong  countervailing  testimony,  be 
deemed  conclusive  that  such  State  and  the  people  thereof  are 
not  then  in  rebellion  against  the  United  States. 

Now,  therefore,  I,  Abraham  Lincoln,  President  of  the 
United  States,  by  virtue  of  the  power  in  me  vested  as  Com- 
mander-in-Chief  of  the  Army  and  Navy  of  the  United  States, 
in  time  of  actual  armed  rebellion  against  the  authority  and 
Government  of  tl>e  United  States,  and  as  a fit  necessary  war 
measure  for  suppressing  said  rebellion,  do,  on  this  first  day  of 
January,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord,  one  thousand  eight  hundred 
and  sixty- three,  and  in  accordance  with  my  purpose  so  to  do, 
publicly  proclaimed  for  the  full  period  of  one  hundred  days

from  the  day  of  the  first  above-mentioned  order,  and  desig- 
nate, as  the  States  and  parts  of  States  wherein  the  people 
thereof  respectively  are  this  day  in  rebellion  againt  the 
United  States,  the  following  to-wit : Arkansas,  Texas,  Louisi- 
ana, except  the  parishes  of  St.  Bernard,  Plaquemines,  Jeffer- 
son, St.  John,  St.  Charles,  St.  James,  Ascension,  Assumption, 
Terre  Bonne,  Lafourche,  St.  Mary,  St.  Martin  and  Orleans,  in- 
cluding the  city  of  New  Orleans.  Mississippi,  Alabama,  Flor- 
ida, Georgia,  South  Carolina,  North  Carolina,  and  Virginia, 
except  the  forty-eight  counties  designated  as  West  Virginia, 
and  also  the  counties  of  Berkeley,  Accomac,  Northampton. 
Elizabeth  City,  York,  Princess  Ann,  and  Norfolk,  including 
the  cities  of  Norfolk  and  Portsmouth,  and  which  excepted 
parts  are,  for  the  present,  left  precisely  as  if  this  proclamation 
were  not  issued. 

And  by  virtue  of  the  power,  and  for  the  purpose  aforesaid, 
I do  order  and  declare  that  all  persons  held  as  slaves  within 
said  designated  States  and  parts  of  States  are,  and  hencefor- 
ward, shall  be  free ; and  that  the  Executive  Government  of  the 
United  States,  including  the  military  andnaval  authorities  there- 
of, will  recognize  and  maintain  the  freedom  of  said  persons. 

And  I hereby  enjoin  upon  the  people  so  declared  to  be  free 
to  abstain  from  all  violence,  unless  in  necessary  self-defense  ; 
and  I recommend  to  them  that,  in  all  cases,  when  allowed, 
they  labor  faithfully  for  reasonable  wages. 

And  I further  declare  and  make  known  that  such  persons  of 
suitable  condition  will  be  received  into  the  armed  service  of 
the  United  States,  to  garrison  forts,  positions,  stations,  and 
other  places,  and  to  man  vessels  of  all  sorts  in  said  service. 

And  upon  this,  sincerely  believed  to  be  an  act  of  justice, 
warranted  by  the  Constitution  upon  military  necessity,  I in- 
voke the  considerate  judgment  of  mankind  and  the  gracious 
favor  of  Almighty  God. 

In  witness  whereof  I have  hereunto  set  my  hand  and  caused 
the  seal  of  the  United  States  to  be  affixed. 

Done  at  the  City  of  Washington,  this  first  day  of  January, 
in  the  year  of  our  Lord  one  thousand  eight  hundred

POLITICAL  PLATFORMS. 


:o: 

PLATFORM  OF  THE  BRECKINRIDGE  PARTY  OF  1860. 

Resolved^  That  the  platform  adopted  by  the  Democratie 
party  at  Cincinnati  be  affirmed,  with  the  following  explana- 
tory resolutions : 

1.  That  the  government  of  a territory  organized  by  an  act 
of  Congress  is  provisional  and  temporary,  and  during  its  exis- 
tence all  citizens  of  the  United  States  have  an  equal  right  to- 
settle  with  their  property  in  the  territory,  without  their  rights, 
either  in  person  or  property,  being  destroyed  by  congressional 
or  territorial  legislation. 

2.  That  it  is  the  duty  of  the  Federal  Government,  in  all  its 
departments,  to  protect  the  rights  of  persons  and  property  in 
the  territories,  and  wherever  else  its  constitutional  authority 
extends. 

3.  That  when  the  settlers  in  a territory,  having  an  adequate 
population,  form  a State  Constitution,  the  right  of  sovereignty 
commences,  and  being  consummated  by  their  admission  into 
the  Union,  they  stand  on  an  equality  with  the  people  of  other 
States,  and  a State  thus  organized  ought  to  be  admitted  into 
the  Federal  Union,  whether  its  constitution  prohibits  or  rec- 
ognizes the  institution  of  slavery. 

4.  That  the  Democratic  party  are  in  favor  of  the  acquisi- 
tion of  Cuba,  on  such  terms  as  shall  be  honorable  to  ourselves 
and  just  to  Spain,  at  the  earliest  practicable  moment. 

5.  That  the  enactments  of  State  Legislatures  to  defeat  the 
faithful  execution  of  the  Fugitive  Slave  Law  are  hostile  in 
character,  subversive  of  the  Constitution,  and  revolutionary 
in  their  effect. 

6.  That  the  Democracy  of  the  United  States  recognize  it  as 
an  imperative  duty  of  the  government  to  protect  the  natural- 

(56)

67 


ized  citizen  in  all  his  rights,  whether  in  home  or  in  foreign 
lands,  to  the  same  extent  as  its  native  born  citizens. 

Whereas,  One  of  the  greatest  necessities  of  the  age,  in  a 
political,  commercial,  postal,  and  military  point  of  view,  is  a 
speedy  communication  between  the  Pacific  and  Atlantic 
coasts  ; therefore,  be  it  resolved, 

7.  That  the  National  Democratic  party  do  hereby  pledge 
themselves  to  use  every  means  in  their  power  to  secure  the 
passage  of  some  bill,  to  the  extent  of  the  Constitutional  au- 
thority by  Congress,  for  the  construction  of  a railroad  to  the 
Pacific  Ccean  at  the  earliest  practicable  moment. 


PLATFORM  OF  THE  DOUGLAS  PARTY  OF  1860. 

Resolved,  That  we,  the  Democracy  of  the  Union  in  Conven- 
tion assembled,  hereby  declare  our  affirmation  of  the  resolu- 
tions unanimously  adopted  and  declared  as  a platform  of  prin- 
ciples by  the  Democratic  Convention  at  Cincinnati,  in  the 
year  1856,  believing  that  Democratic  principles  are  unchanga- 
ble  in  their  nature  when  applied  to  the  same  subject  matter, 
and  we  recommend  as  our  only  further  resolutions  the  follow- 
ing: 

That  inasmuch  as  differences  of  opinion  exist  in  the  Demo- 
cratic party  as  to  the  nature  and  extent  of  the  powers  of  a 
Territorial  Legislature,  and  as  to  the  powers  and  duties  of  Con- 
gress, under  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States,  over  the 
institution  of  slavery  in  the  territories ; 

Resolved,  That  the  Democratic  party  will  abide  by  the  de- 
cision of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  over  the  in- 
stitution of  slavery  in  the  territories. 

Resolved,  That  it  is  the  duty  of  the  United  States  to  afford 
ample  and  complete  protection  to  all  its  citizens,  at  home  or 
abroad,  and  whether  native  or  foreign  born. 

Resolved,  That  one  of  the  necessities  of  the  age,  in  a mili- 
tary, commercial,  and  postal  point  of  view,  is  a speedy  com- 
munication between  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  States,  and  the 
Democratic  party  pledge  such  constitutional  enactment  as 
will  insure  the  construction  of  a railroad  to  the  Pacific  coast 
at  the  earliest  practical  period. 


58 


POLITICAL  PLATFORMS. 


Resolved^  That  the  Democratic  party  are  in  favor  of  the  ac- 
quisition of  the  Island  of  Cuba,  on  such  terms  as  shall  be  hon- 
orable to  ourselves  and  just  to  Spain. 

Resolved^  That  the  enactments  of  State  Legislatures  to  de- 
feat the  faithful  execution  of  the  Fugitive  Slave  Law  are  hos- 
tile m character,  subversive  to  the  Constitution,  and  revolu- 
tionary in  their  effect. 

Resolved,  That  it  is  in  accordance  with  the  Cincinnati  Plat- 
form, that  during  the  existence  of  Territorial  Governments, 
the  measure  of  restriction,  whatever  it  may  be,  imposed  by 
the  Federal  Constitution  on  the  power  of  the  Territorial  Leg- 
islature over  the  subject  of  the  domestic  relations,  as  the  same 
has  been  or  shall  hereafter  be  decided  by  the  Supreme  Court 
of  the  United  States,  should  be  respected  by  all  good  citizens, 
and  enforced  with  promptness  and  fidelity  by  every  branch  of 
the  General  Government. 


THE  REPUBLICAN  PLATFORM  OF  1860. 

Resolved,  That  we,  the  delegated  representatives  of  the  Re- 
publican electors  of  the  United  States,  in  Convention  assem- 
bled, in  the  discharge  of  the  duty  we  owe  to  our  constituents 
and  our  country,  unite  in  the  following  resolutions: 

1.  That  the  history  of  the  nation  during  the  last  four  years 
has  fully  established  the  propriety  and  necessity  of  the  organ- 
ization and  perpetuation  of  the  Republican  party,  and  that  the 
causes  which  called  it  into  existence  are  permanent  in  their 
nature,  and  now,  more  than  ever,  demand  its  peaceful  and 
constitutional  triumph. 

2.  That  the  maintenance  of  the  principles  promulgated  in 
the  Declaration  of  Independence,  and  embodied  in  the  Federal 
Constitution,  that  “all  men  are  created  equal;  that  they  are 
endowed  by  their  Creator  with  certain  inalienable  rights, 
among  which  are  those  of  life,  liberty  and  the  pursuit  of  happi- 
ness, and  that  Governments  are  instituted  among  men  to 
secure  the  enjoyment  of  these  rights,  deriving  their  just  power 
from  the  consent  of  the  governed” — are  essential  to  the  jires- 
ervation  of  our  republican  institutions,  and  that  the  Federal 
Constitution,  the  rights  of  the  States,  and  the  union  of  the 
States,  must  and  shall  be  preserved. 


POLITICAL  PLATFORMS.

3.  That  to  the  union  of  the  States  this  nation  owes  its  unpre- 
cedented increase  in  population,  its  surprising  developments 
of  material  resonrces;  its  rapid  augmentation  of  wealth;  its 
happiness  at  home  and  its  honor  abroad;  and  we  hold  in 
abhorrence  all  schemes  for  disnnion,  come  from  whatever 
source  they  may ; and  we  congratulate  the  country  that  no 
Republican  member  of  Congress  has  nttered  or  countenanced 
the  threats  of  disunion  as  often  made  by  the  Democratic  mem- 
bers of  Congress,  without  rebuke  and  with  applause  from  their 
political  associates ; and  we  denounce  those  threats  of  disunion 
in  case  of  a popular  overthrow  of  their  ascendency,  as  denying 
the  vital  principles  of  a free  Government,  and  as  an  avowal  of 
contemplated  treason  which  it  is  the  imperative  duty  of  an 
indignant  people  sternly  to  rebuke  and  forever  silence. 

4.  That  the  maintenance  inviolate,  of  the  rights  of  the 
States,  and  especially  of  each  State,  to  order  and  control  its 
own  domestic  institutions  according  to  its  own  judgment  ex- 
clusively, is  essential  to  that  balance  of  power  on  which  the 
perfection  and  endurance  of  our  political  fabric  depends ; and 
we  denounce  the  lawless  invasion  by  armed  force  of  the  soil 
of  any  State  or  Territory,  no  matter  under  what  pretext,  as  one 
of  the  gravest  of  crimes. 

5.  That  the  present  Democratic  Administration  has  far  ex- 
ceeded our  worst  apprehensions  in  the  measureless  subserviency 
to  the  exactions  of  a sectional  interest,  as  especially  evinced, 
in  its  desperate  exertions  to  force  the  infamous  Lecompton 
Constitution  upon  the  protesting  people  of  Kansas,  construing 
the  relation  between  master  and  servant  to  involve  an  unqual- 
ified property  in  persons ; in  its  attempted  enforcement  every 
where,  on  land  and  sea,  through  the  intervention  of  Congress 
and  of  the  Federal  Courts,  of  the  extreme  pretensions  of  a 
purely  local  interest;  and  in  its  general  and  unvarying  abuse 
of  the  power  entrusted  to  it  by  a confiding  people. 

6.  That  the  people  justly  view  with  alarm  the  reckless  ex- 
travagance which  pervades  every  department  of  the  Federal 
Government.  That  a return  to  right  economy  and  accounta- 
bility is  indispensible  to  arrest  the  plunder  of  the  public 
treasury  by  favored  partisans,  while  the  recent  startling  devel- 
opments of  frauds  and  corruption  at  the  Federal  metropolis 
show  that  an  entire  change  of  administration  is  imperatively 
demanded.

7.  That  the  new  do^ma  that  the  Constitution  of  its  own 
force  carries  slavery  into  any  or  all  the  Territories  of  the 
United  States,  is  a dangerous  political  heresy,  at  variance  with 
the  explicit  provisions  of  that  instrument  itself,  with  cotempo- 
raneous  exposition,  and  with  legislative  and  judicial  prece- 
dents, that  it  is  revolutionary  in  its  tendency  and  subversive 
of  the  peace  and  harmony  of  the  country. 

8.  That  the  nominal  condition  of  all  the  territory  of  the 
United  States  is  that  of  freedom;  that  as  our  Republican  fath- 
ers, when  they  had  abolished  slavery  in  all  our  national  terri- 
tory, ordained  that  no  person  should  be  deprived  of  life,  liberty 
or  property  without  due  process  of  law,  it  becomes  our  duty 
bj'  legislation,  whenever  such  legislation  is  necessary,  to 
maintain  this  provision  of  the  Constitution  against  all  attempts 
to  violate  it;  and  we  deny  the  authority  of  Congress,  or  a Ter- 
ritorial Legislature,  or  of  any  individual,  to  give  legal  existence 
to  slavery  in  any  Territory  of  the  United  States. 

9.  That  we  brand  the  recent  re-opening  of  the  African  Slave 
Trade,  under  the  cover  of  our  national  flag,  aided  by  perver- 
sions of  judicial  power,  as  a crime  against  humanity,  and  a 
burning  shame  to  our  country  and  age;  and  we  call  upon 
Congress  to  take  prompt  and  efficient  measures  for  the  total 
and  final  suppression  of  that  exercrable  traffic. 

10.  That  in  the  recent  vetoes  by  their  Federal  Governors 
of  the  acts  of  the  Legislatures  of  Kansas  and  Nebraska,  pro- 
hibiting slavery  in  these  Territories,  we  find  a practical 
illustration  of  the  boasted  Democratic  principles  of  non-inter- 
vention and  'Popular  Sovereignty,  embodied  in  the  Kansas- 
Nebraska  bill,  and  a demonstration  of  the  deception  and  fraud 
involved  therein. 

11.  That  Kansas  should,  of  right,  be  immediately  admitted 
as  a State  under  the  Constitution  recently  formed  and  adopted 
by  her  people,  and  accepted  by  the  Rouse  of  Representatives. 

12.  That  while  providing  revenue  for  the  support  of  the 
General  Government,  by  duties  upon  imports,  sound  policy 
requires  such  an  adjustment  of  these  imports  as  to  encourage 
the  development  of  the  industrial  interests  of  the  whole 
country,  and  we  commend  that  policy  of  National  Exchange 
which  secures  to  the  working  men  liberal  wages,  agriculture 
remunerative  prices,  to  merchants  and  manufacturers  an  ade-

quate  reward  for  their  skill,  labor  and  enterprise,  and  to  the 
nation  commercial  prosperity  and  independence. 

13.  That  we  protest  against  any  sale  or  alienation  to  others 
of  the  public  lands  held  by  actual  settlers,  and  against  any 
view  of  the  free  homestead  policy,  which  regards  the  settlers 
as  paupers  or  suppliants  for  public  bounty,  and  we  demand 
the  passage  by  Congress  of  the  complete  and  satisfactory 
homestead  measure  which  has  already  passed  the  House. 

14.  That  the  National  Republican  party  is  opposed  to  any 
change  in  our  naturalization  laws,  or  any  State  Legislation,  by 
which  the  rights  of  citizenship  hitherto  accorded  to  immigrants 
from  foreign  lands  shall  be  abridged  or  impaired,  and  in  favor 
of  giving  a full  and  efficient  protection  to  the  rights  of  all 
classes  of  citizens,  whether  native  or  naturalized,  both  at 
home  and  abroad. 

15.  That  appropriations  by  Congress  for  river  and  harbor 
improvements  of  a national  character,  is  required  for  the  ac- 
commodation and  security  of  an  existing  commerce,  or  au- 
thorized by  the  Constitution  and  justified  by  the  obligation 
of  the  Government  to  protect  the  lives  and  property  of  its 
citizens. 

16.  That  a railroad  to  the  Pacific  ocean  is  imperatively  de- 
manded by  the  interests  of  the  whole  country ; and  that  the 
Federal  Government  ought  to  render  immediate  and  efficient 
aid  in  its  construction,  and  that  preliminary  thereto,  a daily 
overland  mail  should  be  promptly  established. 

17.  Finally,  having  thus  set  forth  our  distinctive  principles 
and  views,  we  invite  the  co-operation  of  all  citizens,  however 
differing  in  other  questions,  who  substantially  agree  with  us, 
in  their  affirmance  and  support.

POLITICAL  PLATFOKMS. 


UNION  PLATFOKM,  ADOPTED  AT  BALTIMORE,  JUNE  8,  1864. 

Resolved,  That  it  is  the  highest  duty  of  every  American 
citizen  to  maintain  against  all  its  enemies,  the  integrity  of  the 
Union,  and  the  paramount  authority  of  the  Constitution  and 
laws  of  the  United  States,  and  that,  laying  all  j)olitical  opin- 
ions aside,  we  i)ledge  ourselves,  as  Union  men,  animated  by  a 
common  sentiment,  and  aiming  at  a common  object,  to  do 
everything  in  our  power  to  aid  the  Government  in  quelling, 
by  force  of  arms,  the  rebellion  now  raging  against  its  author- 
ity, and  bringing  to  the  punishment  due  to  their  crimes,  the 
rebels  and  traitors  arrayed  against  it. 

Resolved,  That  we  approve  the  determination  of  the  Gov- 
ernment of  the  United  States  not  to  compromise  with  rebels 
or  to  offer  anj'’  terms  of  peace,  except  such  as  may  be  based 
upon  an  unconditional  surrender  of  their  hostility,  &c.,  and  a 
return  to  their  just  allegiance  to  the  Constitution  and  laws  of 
the  United  States,  and  that  we  call  upon  the  Government  to 
maintain  this  position,  and  to  prosecute  the  war  with  the  ut- 
most possible  vigor  to  the  complete  suppression  of  the  rebel- 
lion, in  full  reliance  upon  the  self-sacrifices,  the  patriotism, 
the  heroic  valor,  and  the  undying  devotion  of  the  American 
people  to  their  country  and  its  free  institutions. 

Resolved,  That  slavery  was  the  cause,  and  now  constitutes 
the  strength  of  the  rebellion,  and  that  as  it  must  be  always 
and  everywhere  hostile  to  the  principles  of  Republican  Gov- 
ernments, justice  and  the  national  safety  demand  its  utter  and 
complete  extirpation  from  the  soil  of  the  Republic,  and  that 
we  ujihold  and  maintain  the  acts  and  proclamations  by  which 
the  Government,  in  its  own  defence,  has  aimed  a death  blow 
at  this  gigantic  evil.  We  are  in  favor,  furthermore,  of  such 
an  amendment  to  the  Constitution,  to  be  made  by  the  people 
in  conformity  with  its  provisions,  as  shall  terminate  and  for- 
ever prohibit  the  existence  of  slavery  within  the  limits  of  the 
jurisdiction  of  the  United  States. 

Resolved,  That  the  thanks  of  the  American  people  are  due 
to  the  soldiers  and  sailors  of  the  army  and  navy,  who  have 
periled  their  lives  in  defence  of  their  country,  and  in  vindi- 
cation of  the  honor  of  the  flag;  that  the  nation  ov/es  them 
some  permanent  recognition  of  their  patriotism  and  their 
valor,  and  ample  and  permanent  provision  for  those  of  their 
survivors  who  have  received  disabling  and  honorable  wounds

in  the  service  of  their  country,  and  that  the  memories  of  those 
who  have  fallen  in  its  defense,  shall  be  held  in  grateful  and 
everlasting  remembrance. 

Resolved^  That  we  approve  and  applaud  the  political  wis- 
dom, the  unselfish  patriotism  and  unswerving  fidelity  to  the 
Constitution  and  the  principles  of  American  liberty  with 
which  Abraham  Lincoln  has  discharged,  under  circumstances 
of  unparalelled  difQculy,  the  great  duties  and  responsibilities 
of  the  Presidential  ofiice;  that  we  approve  and  endorse,  as 
demanded  by  the  emergency  and  essential  to  the  preservation 
of  the  nation,  and  as  within  the  Constitution,  the  measures 
and  acts  which  he  has  adopted  to  defend  the  nation  against  its 
open  and  secret  foes;  especially  the  Proclamation  of  Emanci- 
pation, and  the  employment,  as  Union  soldiers,  of  men  hereto- 
fore held  in  slavery,  and  that  we  have  full  confidence  in  his 
determination  to  carry  these  and  all  other  Constitutional 
measures,  essential  to  the  salvation  of  the  country,  into  full 
and  complete  effect. 

Resolved,  That  we  deem  it  essential  to  the  general  welfare, 
that  harmony  should  prevail  in  the  national  councils,  and  we 
regard  as  worthy  of  public  confidence  and  official  trust  those 
only  who  cordially  endorse  the  principles  proclaimed  in  these 
resolutions,  and  which  should  characterize  the  administration 
of  the  Government. 

Resolved,  That  the  Government  owes  to  all  men  employed 
in  its  armies,  without  distinction  of  color,  the  full  protection  of 
the  laws  of  war,  and  any  violation  of  these  laws  and  of  the 
usages  of  civilized  nations  in  the  time  of  war,  by  the  rebels 
now  in  arms,  should  be  made  the  subject  of  full  and  prompt 
redress. 

Resolved,  That  the  foreign  immigration,  which  in  the  past 
has  added  so  much  to  the  wealth  and  development  of  resources 
and  increase  of  power  to  this  nation,  the  asylum  of  the  oppress- 
ed of  all  nations,  should  be  fostered  and  encouraged  by  a 
liberal  and  just  policy. 

Resolved,  That  we  are  in  favor  of  the  speedy  construction  of 
the  railroad  to  the  Pacific. 

Resolved,  That  the  national  faith  is  pledged  for  the  redemp- 
tion of  the  public  debt  and  must  be  kept  inviolate;  and  that 
for  this  purpose  we  recommend  economy  and  rigid  responsi- 
bilities in  the  public  expenditures,  and  a vigorous  and  just 


6i 


POLITICAL  PLATFORMS. 


system  of  taxation;  that  it  is  the  duty  of  every  loyal  State  to 
sustain  the  use  of  the  national  currency. 

Resolved^  That  we  approve  the  position  taken  by  the  Gov- 
ernment, that  the  i:>eople  of  the  United  States  can  never  regard 
with  indifference  the  attempt  of  European  power  to  overthrow 
by  force;  or  to  supplant  by  fraud,  the  institutions  of  any  Re- 
publican government  on  the  Western  Continent,  and  that  they 
will  view  with  extreme  jealousy,  as  menacing  to  the  peace  and 
independence  of  ihis  our  country,  the  efforts  of  any  such  power 
to  obtain  new  footholds  for  monarchial  governments  sustained 
by  a foreign  military  force  in  near  proximity  to  the  United 
States. 


FREMONT  PLATFORM,  ADOPTED  AT  CLEVELAND,  MAY  31,  1864. 

1.  That  the  Federal  Union  must  be  preserved. 

2.  That  the  Constitution  and  laws  of  the  United  States 
must  be  observed  and  obeyed. 

3.  That  the  rebellion  must  be  suppressed  by  the  force  of 
arms,  and  without  compromise. 

4.  That  the  rights  of  Free  Speech,  Free  Press,  and  the 
Habeas  Corpus  must  be  held  inviolate,  save  in  districts  where 
martial  law  has  been  jiroclaimed. 

5.  That  the  rebellion  has  destroyed  slavery,  and  the  Fed- 
eral Constitution  should  be  amended  to  prohibit  its  re-estab- 
lishment. 

G.  That  the  right  for  asylum,  except  for  crime,  and  subject 
to  law,  is  a recognized  principle — a principle  of  ximerican  lib- 
erty; that  any  violation  of  it  must  not  be  overlooked,  and 
must  not  go  unrebuked. 

7.  That  the  National  policy  known  as  the  Monroe  doctrine 
has  become  a recognized  principle,  and  that  the  establishment 
of  an  anti-republican  form  of  government  on  this  continent  by 
a foreign  power  can  not  be  tolerated. 

8.  That  the  gratitude  and  support  of  the  nation  is  due  to 
the  faithful  soldiers,  and  the  earnest  leaders  of  the  Union  army 
and  navy,  for  their  heroic  achievements  and  valor  in  defense 
of  our  imperiled  country  and  of  civil  liberty. 

9.  That  the  one  term  policy  for  the  Presidency  adopted  by 


POLITICAIi  PLATFORMS. 


65 


the  people  is  strengthened  by  the  existing  crisis,  and  shall  be 
maintained  by  constitutional  amendments. 

10.  That  the  Constitution  shall  be  so  amended  that  the 
President  and  Vice  President  shall  be  elected  by  a direct  vote 
of  the  people. 

11.  That  the  reconstruction  of  the  rebellious  States  belongs 
to  the  people  through  their  representatives  in  Congress,  and 
not  to  the  Executive. 

12.  That  the  confiscation  of  the  lands  of  the  rebels  and 
their  distribution  among  the  soldiers  and  actual  settlers  is  a 
measure  of  justice  ; that  integrity  and  economy  are  demanded 
at  all  times  in  the  measures  of  the  government,  and  that  now 
the  want  of  this  is  criminal. 


NATIONAL  DEMOCRATIC  PLATFORM  OF  1864. 

Resolved,  That  in  the  future,  as  in  the  past,  we  will  adhere 
with  unswerving  fidelity  to  the  Union  under  the  Constitution 
as  the  only  solid  foundation  of  our  strength,  security  and  hap. 
piness  as  a people,  and  as  a framework  of  government  equally 
conducive  to  the  welfare  and  prosperity  of  all  the  States,  both 
^Northern  and  Southern. 

Resolved,  That  this  Convention  does  explicitly  declare,  as 
the  sense  of  the  American  people,  that  after  four  years  of  fail- 
ure to  restore  the  Union  by  experiment  of  war,  during  which, 
under  the  pretence  of  military  necessity  or  war  power  higher 
than  the  Constitution,  the  Constitution  itself  has  been  disre- 
garded in  every  part,  and  public  liberty  and  private  right  alike 
trodden  down,  and  the  material  prosperity  of  the  country  es- 
sentially impaired,  justice,  humanity,  liberty  and  the  public 
welfare  demand  that  immediate  efforts  be  made  for  a cessation 
of  hostilities  with  a view  to  an  ultimate  convention  of  the 
States,  or  other  peaceable  means,  to  the  end  that  at  the  earli- 
est practical  moment  peace  may  be  restored  on  the  basis  of 
the  Federal  Union  of  the  States. 

Resolved^  That  the  direct  interference  of  the  military  au- 
thorities of  the  United  States  in  the  recent  elections  held  in 
Kentucky,  Maryland,  Missouri  and  Delaware  was  a shameful 


5

POLITICAL  PLATFORMS. 


violation  of  the  Constitution,  and  a repetition  of  such  acts  in 
the  approaching  election  will  he  held  as  revolutionary,  and  re- 
sisted with  all  the  means  and  power  under  our  control. 

Resolved.^  That  the  aim  and  object  of  the  Democratic  party 
is  to  preserve  the  Federal  Union  and  the  rights  of  the  States 
unimpaired,  and  they  hereby  declare  that  they  consider  that 
the  administrative  usurpation  of  extraordinary  and  dangerous 
powers  not  granted  by  the  Constitution,  the  subversion  of  the 
civil  by  military  law  in  States  not  in  insurrection,  the  arbi- 
trary military  arrest,  imprisonment,  trial  and  sentence  of 
American  citizens  in  States  where  the  civil  law  exists  in  full 
force,  the  suppression  of  freedom  of  speech  and  of  the  press, 
the  denial  of  the  right  of  asylum,  the  open  and  avowed  right 
of  disregard  of  State  rights,  the  employment  of  unusual  test 
oaths,  and  the  interference  with,  and  denial  of  the  right  of  the 
people  to  bear  arms  in  their  defense,  is  calculated  to  prevent 
a restoration  of  the  Union  and  a perpetuation  of  the  Govern- 
ment deriving  its  just  powers  from  the  consent  of  the  gov- 
erned. 

Resolved^  That  the  shameful  disregard  of  the  Administra- 
tion to  its  duty  in  respect  to  our  fellow-citizens  who  now  are, 
and  long  have  been,  prisoners  of  war  in  a suffering  condition, 
deserves  the  severest  reprobation  on  the  score  alike  of  public 
policy  and  common  humanity. 

Resolved^  That  the  sympathy  of  the  Democratic  party  is 
heartily  and  earnestly  extended  to  the  soldiery  of  our  army 
and  sailors  of  our  navy  who  are  and  have  been  in  the  field  and 
on  the  sea,  under  the  flag  of  their  country,  and  in  the  event 
of  its  attaining  power,  they  will  receive  all  the  care,  protec- 
tion and  regard  that  the  brave  soldiers  and  sailors  of  the  Re- 
public have  so  nobly  earned. 


THE  CHICAGO  PLATFOEM,  1868. 

The  following  is  the  platform  as  adopted: 

The  National  Republican  Party  of  the  United  States,  as- 
sembled in  National  Convention,  in  the  city  of  Chicago,  on 
the  20th  day  of  May,  1868,  make  the  following  declaration  of 
principles : 

1.  We  congratulate  the  country  on  the  assured  success  of 


POLITICAL  PLATFORMS. 


67 


the  reconstruction  policy  of  Congress,  as  evinced  by  the 
adoption,  in  the  majority  of  the  States  lately  in  rebellion,  of 
constitutions  securing  equal  civil  and  political  rights  to  all ; 
and  it  is  the  duty  of  the  Government  to  sustain  those  consti- 
tutions and  to  prevent  the  people  of  such  States  from  being 
remitted  to  a state  of  anarchy. 

2.  The  guarantee  by  Congress  of  equal  suffrage  to  all  loyal 
men  at  the  South  was  demanded  by  every  consideration  of 
public  safety,  of  gratitude,  and  of  justice,  and  must  be  main- 
tained, while  the  question  of  suffrage  in  all  the  loyal  States 
properly  belongs  to  the  people  of  those  States. 

3.  We  denounce  all  forms  of  repudiation  as  a national 
crime,  and  the  national  honor  requires  the  payment  of  the 
public  indebtedness  in  the  utmost  good  faith  to  all  creditors 
at  home  and  abroad,  not  only  according  to  the  letter  but  the 
spirit  of  the  laws  under  which  it  was  contracted. 

4.  It  is  due  to  the  labor  of  the  nation  that  taxation  should 
be  equalized  and  reduced  as  rapidly  as  the  national  faith  will 
permit. 

5.  The  national  debt,  contracted  as  it  has  been  for  the 
preservation  of  the  Union  for  all  time  to  come,  should  be  ex- 
tended over  a fair  period  for  redemption;  and  it  is  the  duty  of 
Congress  to  reduce  the  rate  of  interest  thereon  whenever  it 
can  be  honestly  done. 

6.  That  the  best  policy  to  diminish  our  burden  of  debt  is 
to  so  improve  our  credit  that  capitalists  will  seek  to  loan  us 
money  at  lower  rates  of  interest  than  we  now  pay,  and  must 
continue  to  pay,  so  long  as  repudiation,  partial  or  total,  open 
or  covert,  is  threatened  or  suspected. 

7.  The  Government  of  the  United  States  should  be  admin- 
istered with  the  strictest  economy,  and  the  corruptions  which 
have  been  so  shamefully  nursed  and  fostered  by  Andrew 
Johnson  call  loudly  for  radical  reform. 

8.  We  professedly  deplore  the  untimely  and  tragic  death 
of  Abraham  Lincoln,  and  regret  the  accession  of  Andrew 
Johnson  to  the  Presidency,  who  has  acted  treacherously  to 
the  people  who  elected  him,  and  the  cause  he  was  pledged  to 
support — who  has  usurped  high  legislative  and  judicial  func- 
tions— who  has  refused  to  execute  the  laws — who  has  used  his 
high  office  to  induce  other  officers  to  ignore  and  violate  the 
laws — who  has  employed  his  executive  powers  to  render  inse- 


68 


POLITICAL  PLATFORMS. 


cure  the  property,  the  peace,  liberty,  and  life  of  the  citizen — 
who  has  abused  the  pardoning  power — who  has  denounced 
the  National  Legislature  as  unconstitutional — persistently  and 
corruptly  resisted,  by  every  measure  in  his  power,  every 
proper  attempt  at  the  reconstruction  of  the  States  lately  in 
rebellion — who  has  perverted  the  public  patronage  into  an 
engine  of  wholesale  corruption,  and  who  has  been  justly  im- 
peached for  high  crimes  and  misdemeanors,  and  properly  pro- 
nounced guilty  thereof  by  the  vote  of  thirty-five  Senators. 

9.  The  doctrine  of  Great  Britain  and  other  European  Pow- 
ers, that  because  a man  is  once  a subject  he  is  always  so, 
must  be  resisted  at  every  hazard  by  the  United  States  as  a 
relic  of  the  feudal  times,  not  authorized  by  the  law  of  nations, 
and  at  war  with  our  national  honor  and  independence.  Nat- 
uralized citizens  are  entitled  to  be  protected  in  all  their 
rights  of  citizenship  as  though  they  were  native  born  ; and 
no  citizen  of  the  United  States,  native  or  naturalized,  must 
be  liable  to  arrest  and  imprisonment  by  any  foreign  power  for 
acts  done  or  words  spoken  in  this  country;  and  if  so  arrested 
and  imprisoned  it  is  the  duty  of  the  Government  to  interfere 
in  his  beh^’. 

10.  Of  all  whT)  were  faithful  in  the  trials  of  the  late  war 
there  were  none  entitled  to  more  especial  honor  than  the 
brave  soldiers  and  seamen  who  endured  the  hardships  of  cam- 
paign and  cruise,  and  imperiled  their  lives  in  the  service  of 
the  country.  The  bounties  and  pensions  provided  by  the  laws 
for  these  brave  defenders  of  the  nation  are  obligations  never 
to  be  forgotten.  The  widows  and  orphans  of  the  gallant 
dead  are  the  wards  of  the  people,  a sacred  legacy  bequeathed 
to  the  nation’s  protecting  care. 

11.  Foreign  emigration,  which  in  the  past  has  added  so 
much  to  the  wealth,  development,  and  resources  and  increase 
of  power  to  this  nation,  the  asylum  of  the  oppressed  of  all 
nations,  should  be  fostered  and  encouraged  by  a liberal  and 
just  policy. 

12.  This  Convention  declares  itself  in  sympathy  with  all 
the  oppressed  people  which  are  struggling  for  their  rights. 

The  following  resolutions  were  also  adopted  unanimously, 
and  are  added  to  the  declaration  of  principles : 

Resolved^  That  we  highly  commend  the  spirit  of  magnan- 
imity and  forgiveness  with  which  the  men  who  have  served  in

the  rebellion,  but  now  frankly  and  honestly  co-operate  with 
us  in  restoring  the  peace  of  the  country  and  reconstructing 
the  Southern  State  governments  upon  the  basis  of  impartial 
justice  and  equal  rights,  are  received  back  into  the  com- 
munion of  the  loyal  people.  And  we  favor  the  removal  of 
the  disqualifications  and  restrictions  placed  upon  the  late 
rebels  in  the  same  measure  as  the  spirit  of  loyalty  will  direct, 
and  as  may  be  consistent  with  the  safety  of  the  loyal  people. 

Resolved,  That  we  recognize  the  great  principles  laid  down 
in  the  immortal  Declaration  of  Independence  as  the  true 
foundation  of  Democratic  government ; and  we  hail  with 
gladness  every  efi'ort  toward  making  these  principles  a living 
reality  on  every  inch  of  American  soil. 


DEMOCEATIC  PLATFORM  OF  186S. 

The  Democratic  party,  in  National  Convention  assembled, 
reposing  its  trust  in  the  intelligence,  patriotism,  and  discrimi- 
nating justice  of  the  people,  standing  upon  the  Constitution  as 
the  foundation  and  limitation  of  the  powers  of  the  Government 
and  the  guarantee  of  the  liberties  of  the  citizen,  and  recog- 
nizing the  questions  of  slavery  and  secession  as  having  been  set- 
tled for  all  time  to  come  by  the  war  or  the  voluntary  action  of 
the  Southern  States  in  Constitutional  Conventions  assembled, 
and  never  to  be  revived  or  re-agitated,  do,  with  the  return  of 
peace,  demand: 

1.  The  immediate  restoration  of  all  the  States  to  their 
rights  in  the  Union  under  the  Constitution  of  the  civil  Gov- 
ernment and  in  the  American  people. 

2.  Amnesty  for  all  past  political  ofi’enses ; the  regulation  of 
the  elective  franchise  in  the  States  by  their  citizens. 

3.  Payment  of  the  public  debt  of  the  United  States  as  rap- 
idlj’’  as  practicable,  all  money  drawn  from  the  people  by  taxa- 
tion, except  so  much  as  is  requisite  for  the  necessities  of  the 
Government  economically  administered  being  honestly  ap- 
plied to  such  payment,  and  where  the  obligations  of  the  Gov- 
ernment do  not  expressly  state  upon  their  face  or  the  law 
under  which  thev  were  issued  does  not  provide  that  they  shall 
be  paid  in  coin  they  ought,  in  right  and  justice,  be  paid  in  the 
lawful  money  of  the  United  States.

4.  Equal  taxation  of  every  species  of  property  according 
to  the  value ; reducing  Government  bonds  and  other  public 
securities. 

5.  One  currency  for  the  Government  and  the  people,  the 
laborer  and  the  office-holder,  pensioner  and  the  soldier,  the 
producer  and  the  bondholder. 

6.  Economy  in  the  administration  of  the  Government;  the 
reduction  of  the  standing  army  and  navy ; the  abolition  of  the 
Freedmen’s  Bureau,  and  all  political  instrumentalities  de- 
signed to  secure  negro  supremacy ; simplification  of  the  system 
and  discontinuance  of  inquisitorial  modes  of  assessing  and 
collecting  internal  revenue,  that  the  burden  of  taxation  may 
be  equalized  and  lessened,  and  the  credit  of  the  Government 
and  the  currency  made  good  ; the  repeal  of  all  enactments  for 
enrolling  the  State  militia  into  a national  force  in  time  of 
peace ; and  a tariff  for  revenue  upon  foreign  imports  and  such 
equal  taxation  under  the  internal  revenue  laws  as  will  afford 
incidental  protection  to  domestic  manufactures  as  well,  with- 
out impairing  the  revenue,  impose  the  least  burden  upon  and 
best  promote  and  encourage  the  great  industrial  interests  of 
the  country. 

7.  Reform  of  abuses  in  the  Administration ; the  expulsion 
of  corrupt  men  from  office  ; the  abrogation  of  useless  offices  ; 
the  restoration  of  the  rightful  authority  to  and  the  independ- 
ence of  the  Executive  and  Judicial  Departments  of  the  Gov- 
ernment; the  subordination  of  the  military  to  the  civil  power, 
to  the  end  that  the  usurpation  of  Congress  and  the  despotism 
of  the  sword  may  cease. 

8.  Equal  rights  and  protection  for  naturalized  and  native 
born  citizens  at  home  and  abroad  ; the  assertion  of  American 
nationality,  which  will  command  the  respect  of  foreign  powers 
furnish  an  example  and  encouragement  to  people  struggling 
for  national  integrity,  constitutional  liberty,  and  individual 
rights  ; and  the  maintenance  of  the  rights  of  naturalized  citi- 
zens against  the  absolute  doctrine  of  immutable  allegiance 
and  the  claims  of  foreign  powers  to  punish  them  for  alleged 
crimes  committed  beyond  their  jurisdiction.  In  demanding 
these  measures  and  reforms,  we  airaign  the  radical  party  for 
its  disregard  of  right  and  the  unparalleled  oppression  and 
tyranny  which  have  marked  its  career,  after  the  most  solemn 
and  unanimous  pledge  of  both  houses  of  Congress  to  prose-

cute  the  war  exclusively  for  the  maiatenance  of  the  Govern- 
ment and  the  preservation  of  the  Union  under  the  Constitu- 
tion. It  has  repeatedly  violated  that  most  sacred  pledge 
under  which  was  rallied  that  noble  volunteer  army  which  car- 
ried our  flag  to  victory.  Instead  of  restoring  the  Union  it  has, 
so  far  as  it  is  in  its  power,  dissolved  it,  and  subjected  ten  States 
in  time  of  peace  to  military  despotism  and  negro  supremacy. 
It  has  nullified  there  the  right  of  trial  by  jury ; it  has  abolished 
the  writ  of  habeas  corpus,  that  most  sacred  writ  of  liberty ; it 
has  overthrown  the  freedom  of  speech  and  of  the  press ; it  has 
substituted  arbitrary  seizures  and  arrests,  military  trials,  se- 
cret star  chambers,  and  inquisitions  for  constitutional  tribu- 
nals; it  has  disregarded,  in  time  of  peace,  the  right  of  the 
people  to  be  free  from  search  and  seizure  ; it  has  entered  the 
post-office  and  telegraph  office,  and  even  the  private  rooms  of 
individuals  and  seized  there  their  private  papers  and  letters, 
without  any  specification  or  notice  of  affidavit,  as  required  by 
the  organic  law.  It  has  converted  the  American  Capitol  into 
a bastile;  it  has  established  a system  of  spies  and  official  espion- 
age to  which  the  constitutional  monarchies  t)f  Europe 
never  dare  to  resort.  It  has  abolished  the  right  of  appeal  on 
important  constitutional  questions  to  the  supreme  judicial 
tribunals,  and  threatens  to  curtail  or  destroy  its  original  juris- 
diction, which  is  irrevocably  vested  by  the  Constitution  ; while 
the  learned  Chief  Justice  has  been  subjected  to  the  most  atro- 
cious calumnies  merely  because  he  would  not  prostitute  his 
high  office  to  the  support  of  the  false  and  partisan  charges 
against  the  President.  Its  corruption  and  extravagance  have 
exceeded  anything  known  in  history,  and  by  its  frauds  and 
monopolies  it  has  nearly  doubled  the  burden  of  the  debt  cre- 
ated during  the  war.  It  has  stripped  the  President  of  his 
Constitutional  power  of  appointment  even  of  his  own  Cabinet. 
Under  its  repeated  assaults  the  pillars  of  the  Government  are 
rocking  to  their  base ; and  should  it  succeed  in  November 
next,  and  inaugurate  its  President,  we  will  meet  as  a subjected 
and  conquered  people  amid  the  ruins  of  liberty  and  the  scat- 
tered fragments  of  the  Constitution ; and  we  do  declare  and 
resolve  that  ever  since  the  people  of  the  United  States  threw 
oft'  all  subjection  to  the  British  crown,  the  privilege  and  trust 
of  suffrage  have  belonged  to  the  several  States,  and  have  been 
granted,  regulated,  and  controlled  exclusively  by  the  political

power  of  each  State  respectively,  and  any  attempt  by  Con- 
gress, on  any  pretext  whatever,  to  deprive  any  State  of  this 
right,  or  interfere  with  this  exercise,  is  a flagrant  usurpation 
of  power  which  can  find  no  warrant  in  the  Constitution,  and 
if  sanctioned  by  the  people  will  subvert  our  form  of  Govern- 
ment, and  can  only  end  in  a single,  centralized  and  consolidated 
Government,  in  which  the  separate  existence  of  the  States  will 
be  entirely  absorbed,  and  an  unqualified  despotism  then  be 
established  in  place  of  a Federal  Union  of  coequal  States,  and 
that  we  regard  the  reconstruction  acts  so  called  of  Congress 
such  usurpations  and  unconstitutional,  revolutionary  and  void; 
that  our  soldiers  and  sailors  who  carried  the  flag  of  our  country 
to  victory  against  a most  gallant  and  determined  foe  must  ever 
be  gratefully  remembered,  and  all  the  guarantees  given  in 
their  favor  must  be  faithfully  carried  into  execution;  that  the 
public  lands  should  be  distributed  widely  among  the  people 
and  should  be  disposed  of  either  under  the  pre-emption  of  the 
homestead  lands  and  sold  in  reasonable  quantities,  and  to  none 
but  actual  occupants,  at  the  price  established  by  the  Govern- 
ment. Wlien  the  grants  of  the  public  lands  may  be  allowed 
necessary  for  the  encouragement  of  important  public  improve- 
ments, the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  such  lands,  and  not  the 
lands  themselves,  should  be  so  applied ; that  the  President  of 
the  United  States,  Andrew  Johnson,  exercising  the  power  of 
his  high  office  in  resisting  the  aggressions  of  Congress  on  the 
constitutional  rights  of  the  States  and  the  people,  is  entitled 
to  the  gratitude  of  the  whole  American  people,  and  on  behalf 
of  the  Democratic  party,  we  tender  him  our  thanks  for  his 
patriotic  efforts  in  that  regard. 

Upon  this  platform  the  Democratic  party  appeal  to  every 
patriot,  including  all  the  conservative  element,  and  all  who 
desire  to  support  the  Constitution  and  restore  the  Union,  for- 
getting all  past  differences  of  opinion,  to  unite  with  us  in  the 
present  great  struggle  for  the  liberties  of  the  people ; and  that 
to  all  such,  to  whatever  party  they  may  have  heretofore  be- 
longed, we  extend  the  right  hand  of  fellowship,  and  hail  all 
such  co-operating  with  us  as  friends  and  brothers.

EEPUBLICAN  PLATFORM,  1872. 

The  Eepublican  party  of  the  United  States,  assembled  m 
national  convention  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia  on  the  5th  and 
6th  days  of  Juaie,  1872,  again  declares  its  faith,  appeals  to  its 
history,  and  announces  its  position  upon  the  questions  before 
the  country: 

1.  During  eleven  years  of  supremacy  it  has  accepted  with 
grand  courage  the  solemn  duties  of  the  time.  It  suppressed 
a gigantic  rebellion,  emancipated  four  millions  of  slaves,  de- 
creed the  equal  citizenship  of  all,  and  established  universal 
suffrage.  Exlnbiting  unparalelled  magnanimity,  it  criminally 
punished  no  man  for  political  offenses,  and  warmly  welcomed 
all  who  proved  loyalty  by  obeying  the  laws  and  dealingjustly 
with  their  neighbors.  It  has  steadily  decreased  with  firm 
hand  the  resultant  disorders  of  a great  war,  and  initiated  a 
wise  and  humane  policy  toward  the  Indians.  The  Pacific  rail- 
road and  similar  vast  enterprises  have  been  generously  aided 
and  successfully  conducted,  the  public  lands  freely  given  to 
actual  settlers,  immigration  protected  and  encouraged,  and  a 
full  acknowledgement  of  the  naturalized  citizen’s  rights  se- 
cured from  European  Powers,  A uniform  national  currency 
has  been  provided,  repudiation  frowned  down,  the  national 
credit  sustained  under  the  most  extraordinary  burdens,  and  new 
bonds  negotiated  at  lower  rates.  The  revenues  have  been  care- 
fully collected  and  honestly  applied.  Despite  annual  large 
reductions  of  fhe  rates  of  taxation,  the  public  debt  has  been  re- 
duced during  General  Grant’s  Presidency  at  the  rate  of  a hun- 
dred millions  a year,  great  financial  crises  have  been  avoided, 
and  peace  and  plenty  prevail  throughout  the  land.  Menacing 
foreign  difficulties  have  been  peacefullj’'  and  honorably  com- 
posed, and  the  honor  and  power  of  the  nation  kept  in  high 
respect  throughout  the  world.  This  glorious  record  of  the 
past  is  the  party’s  best  pledge  for  the  future.  We  believe 
the  people  will  not  intrust  the  Government  to  any  party  or 
combination  of  men  composed  chiefly  of  those  who  have  re- 
sisted every  step  of  this  benificent  progress. 

2.  The  recent  amendments  to  the  national  Constitution 
should  be  cordially  sustained  because  they  are  right,  not 


74 


POLITICAL  PLATFORMS. 


merely  tolerated  because  they  are  law,  and  should  be  carried 
out  according  to  their  spirit  by  appropriate  legislation,  the 
enforcement  of  which  can  safely  be  intrusted  only  to  the 
party  that  secured  those  amendments. 

3.  Complete  liberty  and  exact  equality  in  the  enjoyment 
of  all  civil,  political  and  public  rights  should  be  established 
and  effectually  maintained  throughout  the  Union  by  efficient 
and  apj)ropriate  State  and  Federal  legisla.tion.  Neither  the 
law  nor  its  administration  should  admit  any  discrimination  in 
respect  of  citizens  by  reason  of  race,  creed,  color,  or  previous 
condition  of  servitude. 

4.  The  national  Government  should  seek  to  maintain  hon- 
orable peace  with  all  nation  , protecting  its  citizens  every- 
where and  sympathizing  with  all  peoples  who  strive  for  greater 
liberty. 

5.  Any  system  of  the  civil  service  under  which  the  subor- 
dinate positions  of  the  government  are  considered  rewards  for 
mere  party  zeal  is  fatally  demoralizing,  and  we  therefore  favor 
a reform  of  the  system  by  laws  which  shall  abolish  the  evils 
of  patronage  and  make  honesty,  efficiency,  and  fidelity  the 
essential  qualifications  for  public  positions,  without  creating  a 
life  tenure  of  office. 

6.  We  are  opposed  to  further  grants  of  the  public  lands  to 
corporations  and  monopolies,  and  demand  that  the  national 
domain  be  set  apart  for  free  homes  for  the  people. 

7.  The  annual  revenue,  after  paying  current  expenditures, 
pensions,  and  the  interest  on  the  public  debt,  should  furnish 
a moderate  balance  for  the  reduction  of  the  principal,  and 
that  revenue,  except  so  much  as  may  be  derived  from  a tax 
upon  tobacco  and  liquors,  should  be  raised  by  duties  upon  im- 
portations, the  details  of  which  should  be  so  adjusted  as  to 
aid  in  securing  remunerative  wages  to  labor,  and  promote  the 
industries,  prosperity,  and  growth  of  the  whole  country. 

8.  We  hold  in  undying  honor  the  soldiers  and  sailors  whose 
valor  saved  the  Union.  Their  pensions  are  a sacred  debt  of 
the  nation,  and  the  widows  and  orphans  of  those  who  died  for 
their  country  are  entitled  to  the  care  of  a generous  and  grate- 
ful people.  We  favor  such  additional  legislation  as  will  ex- 
tend the  bounty  of  the  Government  to  all  our  soldiers  and 


POLITICAL  PLATFORMS.

sailors  who  were  honorably  discharged,  and  who  in  the  line 
of  duty  became  disabled,  without  regard  to  the  length  of  ser- 
vice or  the  cause  of  such  discharge, 

9.  The  doctrine  of  Great  Britain  and  other  European  Pow- 
ers concerning  allegiance — “once  a subject  always  a subject” 
— having  at  last  through  the  efforts  of  the  Republican  party 
been  abandoned,  and  the  American  idea  of  the  individual’s 
right  to  transfer  allegiance  having  been  accepted  by  Euro- 
pean nations,  it  is  the  duty  of  our  Government  to  guard  with 
jealous  care  the  rights  of  adopted  citizens  against  the  assump- 
tion of  unauthorized  claims  by  their  former  Governments, 
and  we  urge  continued  careful  encouragement  and  protec- 
tion of  voluntary  immigration. 

10,  The  franking  privilege  ought  to  be  abolished,  and  the 
way  prepared  for  a speedy  reduction  in  the  rates  of  postage, 

11  Among  the  questions  which  press  for  attention  is  that 
which  concerns  the  relations  of  capital  and  labor,  and  the 
Republican  party  recognizes  the  duty  of  so  shaping  legis- 
lation as  to  secure  full  protection  and  the  amplest  field  for 
capital,  and  for  labor,  the  creator  of  capital,  the  largest  oppor- 
tunities and  a just  share  of  the  mutual  profits  of  these  two 
great  servants  of  civilization. 

12.  We  hold  that  Congress  and  the  President  have  only 
fulfilled  an  imperative  duty  in  their  measures  for  the  sup- 
pression of  violent  and  treasonable  organizations  in  certain 
lately  rebellious  regions,  and  for  the  protection  of  the  ballot- 
box;  and  therefore  they  are  entitled  to  the  thanks  of  the 
nation. 

18.  We  denounce  repudiation  of  the  public  debt,  in  any 
form  or  disguise  as  a national  crime.  We  witness  with  pride 
the  reduction  of  the  principal  of  the  debt,  and  the  rates  of  in- 
terest upon  the  balance,  and  confidently  expect  that  our  ex- 
cellent national  currency  will  be  perfected  by  a speedy  re- 
sumption of  specie  payment. 

14.  The  Republican  party  is  mindful  of  its  obligations  to 
the  loyal  women  of  America  for  their  noble  devotion  to  the 
cause  of  freedom.  Their  admission  to  wider  fields  of  useful- 
ness is  viewed  with  satisfaction ; and  the  honest  demand  of 


76 


POLITICAL  PLATPOKMS. 


any  class  of  citizens  for  additional  rights  should  be  treated 
with  respectful  consideration. 

15.  We  heartily  approve  the  action  of  Congress  in  extend- 
ing amnesty  to  those  lately  in  rebellion,  and  rejoice  in  the 
growth  of  peace  and  fraternal  feeling  throughout  the  land. 

16.  The  Republican  party  proposes  to  respect  the  rights 
reserved  by  the  people  to  themselves  as  carefully  as  the 
powers  delegated  by  them  to  the  State  and  to  the  Federal 
Government.  It  disapproves  of  the  resort  to  unconstitutional 
laws  for  the  purpose  of  removing  evils,  by  interference  with 
rights  not  surrendered  by  the  people  to  either  the  State  or  na- 
tional Government. 

17.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  General  Government  to  adopt  such 
measures  as  may  tend  to  encourage  and  restore  American 
commerce  and  ship-building. 

18.  We  believe  that  the  modest  patriotism,  the  earnest  pur- 
pose, the  sound  judgment,  the  practical  wisdom,  the  incor- 
ruptible integrity,  and  the  illustrious  services  of  Ulysses  S. 
Grant  have  commended  him  to  the  heart  of  the  American 
people,  and  with  him  at  our  head  we  start  to  day  upon  a new 
march  to  victory. 

19.  Henry  Wilson,  nominated  for  the  Vice-Presidency, 
known  to  the  whole  land  from  the  early  days  of  the  great 
struggle  for  liberty  as  an  indefatigable  laborer  in  all  cam- 
paigns, an  incorruptible  legislator  and  representative  man  of 
American  institutions,  is  worthy  to  associate  with  our  great 
leader  and  share  the  honors  which  we  pledge  our  best  elForts 
to  bestow  upon  them. 


NATIONAL  LIBERAL  REPUBLICAN  CONVENTION,  1872. 

ADDRESS  TO  THE  PEOPLE  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

The  Administration  now  in  power  has  rendered  itself  guilty 
of  wanton  disregard  of  the  laws  of  the  land,  and  of  usurping 
powers  not  granted  by  the  Constitution ; it  has  acted  as  if  the 
laws  had  binding  force  only  for  those  who  are  governed,  and 
not  for  those  who  govern.  It  has  thus  struck  a blow  at  the 
fundamental  principles  of  constitutional  government  and  the 
liberties  of  the  citizen. 


POLITICAL  PLATFORMS. 


77 


The  President  of  the  United  States  has  openly  used  the 
powers  and  opportunities  of-  his  high  oflS.ce  for  the  promotion 
of  personal  ends. 

He  has  kept  notoriously  corrupt  and  unworthy  men  in  , 
places  of  power  and  responsibility,  to  the  detriment  of  the 
public  interest. 

He  has  used  the  public  service  of  the  Government  as  a 
machinery  of  corruption  and  personal  influence,  and  has  inter- 
fered with  tyrannical  arrogance  in  the  political  affairs  of 
States  and  municipalities. 

He  has  rewarded  with  influential  and  lucrative  offices  men 
who  had  acquired  his  favor  by  valuable  presents,  thus  stimu 
lating  the  demoralization  of  our  political  life  by  his  conspicu- 
ous example. 

He  has  shown  himself  deplorably  unequal  to  the  task  im- 
posed upon  him  by  the  necessities  of  the  country,  and  culpa- 
bly careless  of  the  responsibilities  of  his  high  office. 

The  partizans  of  the  Administration,  assuming  to  be  the 
Republican  party  and  controlling  its  organization,  have  at- 
tempted to  justify  such  wrongs  and  palliate  such  abuses  to 
the  end  of  maintaining  partisan  ascendency. 

They  have  stood  in  the  way  of  necessary  investigations  and 
indispensable  reforms,  pretending  that  no  serious  fault  could 
be  found  with  the  present  administration  of  public  affairs, 
thus  seeking  to  blind  the  eyes  of  the  people. 

They  have  kept  alive  the  passions  and  resentment  of  the 
late  civil  war,  to  use  them  for  their  own  advantage,  they 
have  resorted  to  arbitrary  measures  in  direct  conflict  with  the 
organic  law,  instead  of  appealing  to  the  better  instincts  and 
latent  patriotism  of  the  Southern  people  by  restoring  to  them 
these  rights,  the  enjoyment  of  which  is  indispensable  to  a 
suc'^esstul  administration  of  their  local  affairs,  and  would  tend 
to  revive  a patriotic  and  hopeful  national  feeling. 

They  have  degraded  themselves  and  the  name  of  their  party, 
once  justly  entitled  to  the  confidence  of  the  nation,  by  a base 
sycophancy  to  the  dispenser  of  executive  power  and  patron- 
age, unworthy  of  republican  freemen ; they  have  sought  to 
silence  the  voice  of  just  criticism,  and  stifle  the  moral  sense 
of  the  people,  and  to  subjugate  public  opinion  by  tyrannical 
party  discipline. 

They  are  striving  to  maintain  themselves  in  authority  for 


78 


POLITICAL  PLATFORMS. 


selfish  ends  by  an  unscrupulous  use  of  the  power  which  right- 
fully belongs  to  the  people,  and  should  be  employed  only  in 
the  service  of  the  country. 

Believing  that  an  organization  thus  led  and  controlled  can 
no  longer  be  of  service  to  the  best  interests  of  the  Republic, 
we  have  resolved  to  make  an  independent  appeal  to  the  sober 
judgment,  conscience,  and  patriotism  of  the  American  people. 

RESOLUTIONS. 

We,  the  Liberal  Republicans  of  the  United  States,  in 
National  Convention  assembled  at  Cincinnati,  proclaim  the 
following  principles  as  essential  to  just  government: 

1.  We  recognize  the  equality  of  all  men  before  the  law, 
and  hold  that  it  is  the  dutj-  of  government,  in  its  dealings 
with  the  people,  to  mete  out  equal  and  exact  justice  to  all,  of 
whatever  nativity,  race,  color,  or  persuasion,  religious  or 
political. 

2.  We  pledge  ourselves  to  maintain  the  Union  of  these 
States,  emancipation  and  enfranchisement,  and  to  oppose  any 
re-opening  of  the  questions  settled  by  the  thirteenth,  four- 
teenth, and  fifteenth  amendments  of  the  Constitution. 

3.  We  demand  the  immediate  and  absolute  removal  of  all 
disabilities  imposed  on  account  of  the  rebellion,  which  was 
finally  subdued  seven  years  ago,  beKeving  that  universal  am- 
nesty will  result  in  complete  pacification  in  all  sections  of 
the  country. 

4.  Local  self-government,  with  impartial  suffrage,  will  guard 
the  rights  of  all  citizens  more  securely  than  any  centralized 
power.  The  public  welfare  requires  the  supremacy  of  the  civil 
over  the  military  authority,  and  the  freedom  of  person  under 
the  protection  of  the  habeas  corpus.  We  demand  for  the  indi- 
vidual the  largest  liberty  consistent  with  public  order,  for  the 
State  self-government,  and  for  the  nation  a return  to  the 
methods  of  peace  and  the  constitutional  limitations  of  power. 

5.  The  civil  service  of  the  Government  has  become  a mere 
instrument  of  partisan  tyranny  and  personal  ambition,  and  an 
object  of  selfish  greed.  It  is  a scandal  and  reproach  upon  free 
institutions,  and  breeds  a demoralization  dangerous  to  the 
perpetuity  of  republican  government.  We  therefore  regard 
a thorough  reform  of  the  civil  service  as  one  of  the  most  press- 
ing necessities  of  the  hour ; that  honesty,  capacity,  and  fidelity

constitute  the  only  valid  claims  to  public  employment ; that 
the  offices  of  the  Government  cease  to  be  a matter  of  arbitrary 
favoritism  and  patronage,  and  that  public  station  shall  become 
again  a post  of  honor.  To  this  end  it  is  imperatively  required 
that  no  President  shall  be  a candidate  for  re  election. 

6.  We  demand  a system  of  Federal  taxation  which  shall 
not  unnecessarily  interfere  with  the  industry  of  the  people, 
and  which  shall  provide  the  means  necessary  to  pay  the  ex- 
penses of  the  Government,  economically  administered,  the 
pensions,  the  interest  on  the  public  debt,  and  a moderate 
reduction  annually  of  the  principal  thereof;  and  recognizing 
that  there  are  in  our  midst  honest  but  irreconcilable  differ- 
ences of  opinion  with  regard  to  the  respective  systems  of 
protection  and  free  trade,  we  remit  the  discussion  of  the  sub- 
ject to  the  people  in  their  congressional  districts  and  the 
decision  of  Congress  thereon,  wholly  free  from  executive  inter- 
ference or  dictation. 

7.  The  public  credit  must  be  sacredly  maintained,  and  we 
denounce  repudiation  in  every  form  and  guise. 

8.  A speedy  return  to  specie  payments  is  demanded  alike 
by  the  highest  considerations  of  commercial  morality  and 
honest  government. 

9.  We  remember  with  gratitude  the  heroism  and  sacrifices 
of  the  soldiers  and  sailors  of  the  Republic,  and  no  act  of  ours 
shall  ever  detract  from  their  justly  earned  fame  or  the  full 
rewards  of  their  patriotism. 

10.  We  are  opposed  to  all  further  grants  of  lands  to  rail- 
roads or  other  corporations.  The  public  domain  should  be 
held  sacred  to  actual  settlers. 

11.  We  hold  that  is  the  duty  of  the  Government  in  its  inter- 
course with  foreign  nations  to  cultivate  the  friendships  of 
peace  by  treating  with  all  on  fair  and  equal  terms,  regarding 
it  alike  dishonorable  either  to  demand  what  is  not  right  or 
submit  to  what  is  wrong. 

12.  For  the  promotion  and  success  of  these  vital  principles 
and  the  support  of  the  candidates  nominated  by  this  conven- 
tion we  invite  and  cordially  welcome  the  co-operation  of  all 
patriotic  citizens,  without  regard  to  previous  political  affili- 
ations.

NATIONAL  DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTION,  1872. 

We,  the  Democratic  electors  of  the  United  States  in  Con- 
vention assembled,  do  present  the  following  principles, 
already  adopted  at  Cincinnati,  as  essential  to  just  government. 

1.  We  recognize  the  equality  of  all  men  before  the  law, 
and  hold  that  it  is  the  duty  of  Government  in  its  dealings 
with  the  people  to  mete  out  equal  and  exact  justice  to  all,  of 
whatever  nativity,  race,  color,  or  persuasion,  religious  or 
political. 

2.  We  pledge  ourselves  to  maintain  the  union  of  these 
States,  emancipation,  and  enfranchisement,  and  to  oppose  any 
re-opening  of  the  questions  settled  by  the  thirteenth,  four- 
teenth and  fifteenth  amendments  to  the  Constitution. 

3.  We  demand  the  immediate  and  absolute  removal  of  all 
disabilities  imposed  on  account  of  the  rebellion,  which  was 
finally  subdued  seven  years  ago,  believing  that  universal  am- 
nesty will  result  in  complete  pacification  in  all  sections  of 
the  country. 

4.  Local  self-government,  with  impartial  suffrage,  will 
guard  the  rights  of  all  citizens  more  securely  than  any  cen- 
tralized power.  The  public  welfare  requires  the  supremacy  of 
the  civil  over  the  military  authority,  and  freedom  of  person 
under  the  protection  of  the  habeas  corpus.  We  demand  for 
the  individual  the  largest  liberty  consistent  with  public 
order ; for  the  State  self-government,  and  for  the  nation  a re- 
turn to  the  methods  of  peace  and  the  constitutional  limita- 
tions of  power. 

5.  The  civil  service  of  the  Government  has  become  a mere 
instrument  of  partisan  tyranny  and  personal  ambition,  and 
an  object  of  selfish  greed.  It  is  a scandal  and  reproach  upon 
free  institutions  and  breeds  a demoralization  dangerous  to 
the  perpetuity  of  republican  government.  We  therefore  re- 
gard a thorough  reform  of  the  civil  service  as  one  of  the  most 
Ijressing  necessities  of  the  hour ; that  honesty,  capacity,  and 
fidelity  constitute  the  only  valid  claim  to  public  employ- 
ment; that  the  otfices  of  the  government  cease  to  be  a mat- 
ter of  arbitrary  favoritism  and  patronage,  and  that  public 
station  become  again  a post  of  honor.  To  this  end  it  is  im- 
peratively required  that  no  President  shall  be  a candidate  lor 
re-election.

6.  We  demand  a system  of  Federal  taxation  which  shall 
not  unnecessarily  interfere  with  the  industry  of  the  people, 
and  which  shall  provide  the  means  necessary  to  pay  the  ex- 
penses of  the  Government,  economically  administered,  the 
pensions,  the  interest  on  the  public  debt,  and  a moderate  re- 
duction annually  of  the  principal  thereof;  and  recognizing 
that  there  are  in  our  midst  honest  but  irreconcilable  differ- 
ences of  opinion  with  regard  to  the  respective  systems  of 
protection  and  free  trade,  we  remit  the  discussion  of  the  sub- 
ject to  the  people  in  their  Congressional  districts,  and  to  the 
decision  of  the  Congress  thereon,  wholly  free  from  executive 
interference  or  dictation. 

7.  The  public  credit  must  be  sacredly  maintained,  and  we 
denounce  repudiation  in  every  form  and  guise. 

8.  A speedy  return  to  specie  payment  is  demanded  alike 
by  the  highest  considerations  of  commercial  morality  and 
honest  government. 

9.  We  remember  with  gratitude  the  heroism  and  sacrifices 
of  the  soldiers  and  sailors  of  the  Republic,  and  no  act  of  ours 
shall  ever  detract  from  their  justly  earned  fame  for  the  full 
reward  of  their  patriotism. 

10.  We  are  opposed  to  all  further  grants  of  lands  to  rail- 
roads or  other  corporations.  The  public  domain  should  be 
held  sacred  to  actual  settlers. 

11.  We  hold  that  it  is  the  duty  of  the  Government  in  its 
intercourse  with  foreign  nations  to  cultivate  the  friendships 
of  peace,  by  treating  with  all  on  fair  and  equal  terms,  regard- 
ing it  alike  dishonorable  either  to  demand  what  is  not  right 
or  to  submit  to  what  is  wrong. 

12.  For  the  promotion  and  success  of  these  vital  princi- 
ples, and  the  support  of  the  candidates  nominated  by  this 
convention,  we  invite  and  cordially  welcome  the  co-operation 
of  all  patriotic  citizens,  without  regard  to  previous  political 
affiliations. 


NATIONAL  LABOR  REFORM  CONVENTION,  1872. 

We  hold  that  all  political  power  is  inherent  in  the  people, 
and  tree  government  founded  on  their  authority  and  estab- 
lished for  iheij  benefit;  that  all  citizens  are  equal  in  political

rights,  entitled  to  the  largest  religious  and  political  liberty 
compatible  with  the  good  order  of  society,  as  also  the  use  and 
enjoyment  of  the  fruits  of  their  labor  and  talents  ; and  no  man 
or  set  of  men  is  entitled  to  exclusive  separable  endowments 
and  privileges,  or  immunities  from  the  Government,  but  in 
consideration  of  public  services;  and  any  laws  destructive  of 
these  fundamental  principles  are  without  moral  binding  force, 
and  should  be  repealed.  And  believing  that  all  the  evils  re- 
sulting from  unjust  legislation  now  affecting  the  industrial 
classes  can  be  removed  by  the  adoption  of  the  principle  con- 
tained in  the  following  declaration : Therefore, 

Resolved,  That  it  is  the  duty  of  the  Government  to  estab- 
lish a just  standard  of  distribution  of  capital  and  labor  by 
providing  a purely  national  circulating  medium,  based  on  the 
faith  and  resources  of  the  nation,  issued  directly  to  the  people 
without  the  intervention  of  any  system  of  banking  corpora- 
tions, which  money  shall  be  legal  tender  in  the  payment  of  all 
debts,  public  and  private,  and  interchangeable  at  the  option 
of  the  holder  for  Government  bonds  bearing  a rate  of  interest 
not  to  exceed  3-G5  per  cent.,  subject  to  future  legislation  by 
Congress. 

2.  That  the  national  debt  should  be  paid  in  good  faith,  ac- 
cording to  the  original  contract,  at  the  earliest  option  of  the 
Government,  without  mortgaging  the  property  of  the  people 
or  the  future  exigencies  of  labor  to  enrich  a few  capitalists  at 
home  and  abroad. 

3.  That  justice  demands  that  the  burden  of  Government 
should  be  so  adjusted  as  to  bear  equally  on  all  classes,  and 
that  the  exemption  from  taxation  of  Government  bonds  bear- 
ing extravagant  rates  of  interest  is  a violation  of  all  just  prin- 
ciples of  revenue  laws. 

4.  That  the  public  lands  of  the  United  States  belong  to  the 
people  and  should  not  be  sold  to  individuals  nor  granted  to 
corporations,  but  should  be  held  as  a sacred  trust  for  the  ben- 
efit of  the  people,  and  should  be  granted  to  landless  settlers 
only,  in  amounts  not  exceeding  one  hundred  and  sixty  acres 
of  land. 

5.  That  Congress  should  modify  the  tariff  so  as  to  admit 
free  such  articles  of  common  use  as  we  can  neither  produce 
nor  grow,  and  lay  duties  for  revenue  mainly  upon  articles  of 
luxury  and  upon  such  articles  of  manufacture  as  will,  we  hav-

ing  the  raw  materials,  assist  in  further  developing  the  re- 
sources of  the  country. 

6.  That  the  presence  in  our  country  of  Chinese  laborers, 
imported  by  capitalists  in  large  numbers  for  servile  use,  is  an 
evil,  entailing  want  and  its  attendant  train  of  misery  and  crime 
on  all  classes  of  the  American  people,  and  should  be  prohib- 
ited by  legislation. 

7.  That  we  ask  for  the  enactment  of  a law  by  which  all 
mechanics  and  day-laborers  employed  by  or  on  behalf  of  the 
Government,  whether  directly  or  indirectly,  through  persons, 
firms,  or  corporations,  contracting  with  the  State,  shall  conform 
to  the  reduced  standard  of  eight  hours  a day,  recently  adopted 
by  Congress  for  national  employes,  and  also  for  an  amendment 
to  the  acts  of  incorporation  for  cities  and  towns  by  which  all 
laborers  and  mechanics  employed  at  their  expense  shall  con» 
form  to  the  same  number  of  hours. 

8.  That  the  enlightened  spirit  of  the  age  demands  the  abo- 
lition of  the  system  of  contract  labor  in  our  prisons  and  other 
reformatory  institutions. 

9.  That  the  protection  of  life,  liberty,  and  property  are  the 
three  cardinal  principles  of  Government,  and  the  first  two  are 
more  sacred  than  the  latter;  therefore  money  needed  for 
prosecuting  wars  should,  as  it  is  required,  be  assessed  and  col- 
lected from  the  wealthy  of  the  country,  and  not  entailed  as  a 
burden  on  posterity. 

10.  That  it  is  the  duty  of  the  Government  to  exercise  its 
power  over  railroads  and  telegraph  corporations,  that  they 
shall  not  in  any  case  be  privileged  to  exact  such  rates  of 
freight,  transportation,  or  charges,  by  whatever  name,  as  may 
bear  unduly  or  unequally  upon  the  producer  or  consumer. 

11.  That  there  should  be  such  a reform  in  the  civil  service 
of  the  national  Government  as  will  remove  it  beyond  all  part- 
isan influence,  and  place  it  in  the  charge  and  under  the  direc- 
tion of  intelligent  and  competent  business  men. 

12.  That  as  both  history  and  experience  teaches  us  that 
power  ever  seeks  to  perpetuate  itself  by  every  and  all  means, 
and  that  its  prolonged  possession  in  the  hands  of  one  person 
is  always  dangerous  to  the  interests  of  a free  people,  and 
believing  that  the  spirit  of  our  organic  laws  and  the  stability 
and  safety  of  our  free  institutions  are  best  obeyed  on  the  one

hand,  and  secured  on  the  other,  by  a regular  constitutional 
change  in  the  chief  of  the  country  at  each  election : therefore, 
we  are  in  favor  of  limiting  the  occupancy  of  the  presidential 
chair  to  one  term. 

13.  That  we  are  in  favor  of  granting  general  amnesty  and 
restoring  the  Union  at  once  on  the  basis  of  equality  of  rights 
and  privileges  to  all,  the  impartial  administration  of  justice 
being  the  only  true  bond  of  union  to  bind  the  States  together 
and  restore  the  Government  of  the  people. 

14.  That  we  demand  the  subjection  of  the  military  to  the 
civil  authorities,  and  the  confinement  of  its  operations  to 
national  purposes  alone. 

15.  That  we  deem  it  expedient  for  Congress  to  supervise 
the  patent  laws,  so  as  to  give  labor  more  fully  the  benefit  of 
its  own  ideas  and  inventions. 

16.  That  fitness,  and  not  political  or  personal  considera- 
tions, should  be  the  only  recommendation  to  public  office, 
either  appointive  or  elective,  and  any  and  all  laws  looking  to 
the  establishment  of  this  principle  are  heartily  approved.

city  or  town,  if  it  be  in  an  incorporated  town,  or  township 
wherein  the  applicant  proposes  to  sell  intoxicating  liquors ; 
such  petition  shall  be  kept  on  file  by  the  auditor  until  the 
next  ensuing  regular  session  of  the  board  of  commissioners, 
when  it  shall  be  presented  to  the  board  for  their  action.  The

by  reason  of  the  violation  of  any  of  the  provisions  of  this  act; 
and  conditioned  further,  that  the  principal  and  sureties  therein

reason  of  any  sale  or  sales  of  intoxicating  liquors  to  any  person, 
by  the  person  receiving  such  permit  or  by  any  of  his  agents 
or  employees.  Separate  suits  may  be  brought  on  said  bond 
by  the  person  or  persons  injured,  but  the  aggregate  amount 
recovered  thereon  shall  not  exceed  the  said  sum  of  three 
thousand  dollars,  and  in  case  the  amount  of  said  bond  shall  be

or  a copy  thereof,  duly  certified  by  such  auditor,  shall  be

tovn  or  township,  a majority  of  whose  names  shall  be  signed 
to  the  petition  of  such  applicant ; and  it  is  further  provided,

ship, who  shall  sign  said  petition,  or  any  person  who  signs  the

sion previously  obtained  of  said  person  to  so  sign  his  name, 
shall  be  fined  not  less  than  fifty  nor  more  than  one  hundred 
dollars  for  each  signature  so  made. 

Sec.  5.  No  permit,  as  herein  provided  for,  shall  be  granted 
for  a longer  or  shorter  time  than  one  year.  It  shall  be  the 
duty  of  the  Auditor  of  the  county  to  furnish  the  person  to 
whom  such  permit  is  granted,  a copy  of  the  order  of  the  Com- 
missioners granting  the  permit,  which  copy  shall  show  in  con- 
spicuous letters  the  date  of  the  commencement  of  such 
permit,  and  of  its  expiration ; and  it  is  further  provided^

times  be  seen  and  read  by  any  person  desiring  so  to  do. 
Should  any  person  holding  a permit  be  convicted  of  a viola- 
tion of  any  of  the  provisions  of  this  act,  such  conviction  shall

guardian  or  next  friend,  as  the  court  shall  direct.  The  unlaw- 
ful sale  or  giving  away  of  intoxicating  liquor  shall  work  a for- 
feiture of  all  rights  of  the  lessee  or  tenant  under  any  lease  or

ship where  such  intoxicated  person  resides,  shall  have  a right 
of  action  as  provided  in  said  section  twelve,  and  it  is  hereby 
made  the  duty  of  such  officer  to  prosecute  all  such  actions  in

judgments,  after  deducting  therefrom  all  costs  and  charges 
against  such  township  occasioned  thereby,  shall  be  paid  by 
the  township  trustee,  or  other  officer,  into  the  treasury  of  the 
county  for  the  benefit  of  the  poor  of  such  county;  provided

clared to  be  nuisances,  shall  forfeit  and  pay  a fine  of  not  less 
than  twenty  nor  more  than  fifty  dollars,  and  such  place  or 
places,  so  kept  by  such  person  so  convicted,  shall  be  shut  up

and  abated  as  a common  nuisance  by  tbe  order  of  the  court 
before  which  such  conviction  may  be  had  as  a further  punish-

county,  in  an  action  of  debt,  in  the  name  of  the  State  of  In- 
diana as  plaintiff;  and  in  case  of  conviction,  the  offender 
shall  stand  committed  to  the  jail  of  the  county  until  judg- 
ment and  costs  are  fully  paid,  and  the  magistrate  or  court  in 
which  the  conviction  is  had,  shall  issue  a writ  of  capias  ad 
satisfaciendum  therefor.  Justices  of  the  peace  shall  have 
jurisdiction  of  all  actions  arising  under  the  eighth  and 
twelfth  sections  of  this  act,  when  the  amount  in  controversy 
does  not  exceed  two  hundred  dollars,  such  actions  to  be  pros-

“ It  is  not  easy  to  give  an  accurate  and  comprehensive  defi- 
nition of  the  science  of  geology.  It  is,  indeed,  not  so  much 
one  science,  as  the  application  of  all  the  physical  sciences  to 
the  examination  of  the  structure  of  the  earth,  the  investiga- 
tion of  the  processes  concerned  in  the  production  of  that 
structure,  and  the  history  of  their  action.  That  this  large 
view  of  geology  is  not  only  a true  but  a necessary  one,  is 
shown  by  the  fact,  that  it  was  not  until  considerable  advances 
had  been  made  in  all  the  physical  sciences  which  relate  di- 
rectly to  the  earth,  that  geology  could  begin  to  exist  in  any 
worthy  form.  It  was  not  until  the  chemist  was  able  to  explain 
the  nature  of  the  mineral  substances  of  which  rocks  are  com- 
posed; not  till  the  geographer  and  meteorologist  hadnxplored 
the  surface  of  the  earth,  and  taught  us  the  extent  of  land  and 
water,  and  the  powers  of  winds,  currents, rains,  glaciers,  earth- 
quakes and  volcanoes  ; not  until  the  naturalist  had  classified, 
named,  and  described  the  greater  part  of  existing  animals  and 
plants,  and  explained  their  anatomical  structure,  and  the  laws 
of  their  distribution  in  space;— that  the  geologist  could,  with 
any  chance  of  arriving  at  sure  and  definite  results,  commence 
his  researches  into  the  structure  and  composition  of  rocks  and 
the  causes  which  produced  them,  or  utilize  his  discoveries  of 
the  remains  of  animals  and  plants  that  are  inclosed  in  them. 
He  could  not  until  then  discriminate  with  certainty  batween 
igneous  and  aqueous  rocks,  between  living  and  extinct  ani- 
mals, and  was,  therefore,  unable  to  lay  down  any  one  of  t he  foun- 
dations on  which  his  own  science  was  to  rest.” — Encyclopedia 
Britannica^  d>iJi  edition^  vol.  xv. 

If  there  is  any  one  fact  which  the  study  of  geology  teaches 
more  unmistakably  than  another,  it  is,  that  the  matter  com- 
posing the  crust  of  the  earth,  from  the  time  when  it  was  first 
called  into  existence  by  the  dat  of  the  Creator  to  the  present, 
has  been  subjected  to  an  endless  cycle  of  mutations.  There 

(93)

may  have  been  periods  of  comparative  rest  and  quiescen_e, 
but  none  of  perfect  stagnation  and  stability  ; so  that  the  pres- 
ent condition  and  configuration  of  the  earth’s  surface  may  be 
considered  as  the  last  result  of  a series  of  cosmical  changes, 
which  commenced  with  the  dawn  of  creation,  and  are  con- 
tinuing on  into  the  future. 

“Had  the  exterior  crust  of  the  earth  been  subjected  to  no 
modifying  causes,  the  world  would  have  presented  the  same 
appearance  now  as  at  the  time  of  its  creation.  The  distribu- 
tion of  land  and  sea  would  have  remained  the  same ; there 
would  have  been  the  same  surface  arrangement  of  hill,  valley 
and  plain,  and  the  same  unvarying  aspects  of  animal  and  veg- 
etable existence.  Under  such  circumstances,  geology,  instead 
of  striving  to  present  a consecutive  history  of  change  and 
progress,  would  have  been  limited  to  a mere  description  of 
permanently  enduring  appearances.  The  case,  however,  is 
widely  different.”  There  is  no  part  of  the  present  land-surface 
of  the  globe  which  has  not  at  some  time  been  covered  by  the 
ocean,  while  much  of  the  present  sea  bottom  has  been  in  turn 
dry  land.  Many  of  the  loftiest  and  most  extensive  ranges  of 
mountains  upon  the  globe — the  Alps,  the  Andes,  and  the 
Himalayas — are  of  comparatively  recent  elevation  (recent  as 
compared  with  the  White  Mountains  of  New  England,  or  the 
Appallachian  chain  of  the  Atlantic  States);  while  the  com- 
mencement of  the  existence  of  every  animal  and  vegetable 
species  at  present  found  upon  the  earth  was  long  subsequent 
to  the  existence  of  the  myriad  organisms,  whose  remains  are 
now  found  fossil  beneath  its  surface. 

The  agencies  which  have  produced,  and  are  still  tending  to 
produce,  changes  in  the  constitution  and  structure  of  our 
planet,  may  be  classified  as  follows  : 1.  Igneous  agencies,  or 
such  as  manifest  themselves  in  connection  with  some  deep- 
seated  source  of  heat  in  the  interior  of  the  globe.  2.  Aque- 
ous, or  those  arising  from  the  action  of  the  water.  3.  Atmos- 
pheric, or  those  operating  through  the  medium  of  the  atmos- 
phere. 4.  Organic,  or  those  depending  on  animal  and 
vegetable  growth.  5.  Chemical,  or  those  resulting  from  the 
chemical  action  of  substances  on  each  other. — Wells’  Ulus-

THE  TEMPERATURE  OF  THE  EARTH. 

The  following  are  some  of  the  observations  made  most  re- 
cently on  this  subject:  In  England,  observations  have  been 
made  in  the  vertical  shafts  of  two  very  deep  coal  mines,  viz., 
at  Monkwearmouth,  which  is  1800  feet  deep,  and  Dunkinfield^ 
which  is  upwards  of  2000  feet  deep,  and  in  both  cases  the  ob- 
servations were  made  while  the  workmen  were  sinking  the 
shafts,  and  with  every  precaution  against  the  influence  of  any 
extraneous  causes.  The  former  gave  an  increase  of  1 deg.  of 
Fahrenheit  for  every  sixty  feet  of  depth,  and  the  latter  1 deg. 
for  about  every  seventy  feet.  The  artesian  well  of  Grenelle 
(Paris),  is  1800  feet  deep ; observations  made  by  Arago,  during 
the  boring,  showed  that  the  average  increase  of  temperature 
in  this  was  1 deg.  for  sixty  feet.  At  MordorfF,  Luxemburg,  the 
depth  of  the  artesian  well  is  2400  feet,  and- the  increase  in 
temperature  1 deg.  for  every  fifty-seven  feet.  At  the  artesian 
well  of  New  Seltzwork,  in  Westphalia,  the  depth  is  2100  feet, 
and  the  increase  1 deg.  for  every  fifty-five  feet.  At  Louisville, 
Ky.,the  depth  of  an  artesian  well,  finished  in  1859,  is  2086  feet 
deep,  and  the  average  increase  is  1 deg.  for  every  sixty-seven 
feet  below  the  first  ninety  feet  from  the  surface.  In  the  silver 
mine  of  Guanaxato,  Mexico,  1713  feet  deep,  the  increase  is  1 
deg.  for  every  forty-five  feet.  In  the  coal  mines  of  Eastern 
Virginia,  the  increase  is  about  1 deg.  for  every  sixty  feet. 

VOLCANIC  ERUPTIONS. 

One  or  two  remarkable  instances  of  volcanic  eruptions  may 
be  briefly  noticed.  First,  for  duration  and  force  we  may  refer 
to  that  which  took  place  in  the  island  of  Sumbawa  (one  of  the 
Sunda  Islands  lying  east  of  Java),  in  the  year  1815.  It  com- 
menced on  the  5th  of  April,  and  did  not  entirely  cease  until 
July.  Its  influence  (i.  e.  shocks,  and  the  noise  of  the  explo- 
sions) was  perceptible  over  an  area  1,800  miles  in  diameter, 
while  within  the  range  of  its  more  immediate  vicinity,  embrac- 
ing a space  of  400  miles,  its  effects  were  most  terrific.  In  Java, 
300  miles  distant,  it  seemed  to  be  awfully  present.  The  sky 
was  overcast  at  noon-day  with  clouds  of  ashes,  which  the  light 
of  the  sun  was  unable  to  penetrate,  and  fields,  streets,  and 
houses  were  covered  with  ashes  to  the  depth  of  several  inches. 
At  Sumbawa  itself,  immense  columns  of  flame  appeared  to 
burst  forth  from  the  top  of  the  volcano,  Tombora,  and  in  a 


96 


GEOLOGICAL  ITEMS. 


short  time  the  whole  mountain  appeared  like  a mass  of  liquid 
fire,  which  gradually  extended  in  every  direction.  As  the 
eruption  continued,  a darkness  supervened,  so  profound  as  to 
obscure  even  the  light  of  the  flames ; showers  of  stones  and 
ashes  fell  continuously  over  the  whole  island ; the  sea  rose 
twelve  feet  higher  than  it  had  ever  been  known  to  do  before; 
and  finally  a whirlwind  ensued,  which  tore  up  the  largest  trees, 
and  carried  them  into  the  air,  together  with  men,  horses,  cat- 
tle, and  whatever  else  came  within  its  influence.  Of  12,000 
inhabitants  in  the  vicinity  only  six  are  believed  to  have  es- 
caped, and  of  some  entire  villages  not  even  a vestige  remained. 

In  1772,  the  Papandayang,  one  of  the  loftiest  volcanic  moun- 
tains in  Java,  after  a short  but  severe  eruption,  suddenly  fell 
in  and  disappeared  in  the  earth,  carrying  with  it  about  ninety 
square  miles  of  territory.  Forty  villages  were  engulfed,  or 
covered  with  ejected  matter,  at  the  same  time,  and  nearly 
3,000  persons  perished. — Wells’  Illustrated  Geology- 

DESCRIPTIONS  OF  AN  EARTHQUAKE. 

“A  powerful  eathquake,”  says  Mr.  Darwin,  “at  once  destroys 
the  oldest  associations  ; the  world,  the  very  emblem  of  all  that 
is  solid,  has  moved  beneath  our  feet  like  a crust  over  a fluid; 
one  second  of  time  has  conveyed  to  the  mind  a strange  idea  of 
insecurity,  which  hours  of  reflection  would  never  have  created.” 

“To  man,”  says  Humbolt,  “the  earthquake  conveys  an  idea 
of  some  universal  and  unlimited  danger.  We  may  flee  from 
the  crater  of  a volcano  in  active  eruption,  or  from  a locality 
threatened  by  the  approach  of  a lava  stream ; but  in  an  earth- 
quake, direct  our  flight  whithersoever  we  will,  we  still  feel  as 
though  we  trod  upon  the  very  focus  of  destruction.  Every 
sound — the  faintest  motion  in  the  air — arrests  our  attention, 
and  we  no  longer  trust  the  ground  on  which  we  stand.  Ani- 
mals, especially  dogs  and  swine,  participate  in  the  same  anxious 
disquietude  ; and  even  crocodiles,  in  the  rivers  of  South  Amer- 
ica, which  at  other  times  are  dumb,  have  been  observed  to 
quit  the  water  and  run,  with  loud  cries,  into  the  adjacent 
forests.”

gasses  and  moisture  of  the  atmosphere^  winds,,  ice,  and  snow, 
springs,  rivers,  waves,  tides,  and  oceanic  currents. 

The  operation  of  water,  acting  mechanically,  is,  under  all 
circumstances,  to  wear  down  the  higher  portions  of  the  earth’s 
crust,  and  transport  the  materials  to  lower  localities — an  ac- 
tion which  obviously  tends  to  reduce  the  whole  surface  to  a 
smooth  and  uniform  level.  On  the  other  hand,  the  operations 
of  igneous  agents — volcanoes,  earthquakes,  etc. — by  breaking 
up  and  elevating  the  crust  of  the  earth,  tend  to  counteract  the 
equalizing  action  of  water  and  to  produce  that  diversity  of- 
surface  which  is  indispensable  to  variety  in  both  the  vegetable 
and  animal  kingdoms.  These  two  forces,  therefore — the  aque- 
ous and  the  igneous — may  be  considered  as  antagonistic  to 
each  other,  and  to  them  may  be  ascribed  the  principal  modifi- 
cations which  have  taken  place,  and  are  still  taking  place,  in 
the  crust  of  the  globe. — WelVs  Illustrated  Geology 

CORAL  REEFS. 

“The  ocean,”  says  Mr.  Darwin,  “throwing  its  breakers  on 
the  outer  shore,  appears  an  invincible  enemy,  yet  we  see  it  re- 
sisted, and  even  conquered,  by  means  which  at  first  seem  weak 
and  inefiicient.  No  periods  of  repose  are  granted,  and  the 
heavy  swell  caused  by  the  steady  action  of  the  trade  wind 
never  ceases.  The  breakers  exceed  in  violence  those  of  our 
temperate  regions  ; and  it  is  impossible  to  behold  them  with- 
out feeling  a conviction  that  rocks  of  granite  or  quartz  would 
ultimately  be  demolished  by  such  irresistable  forces.  Yet 
these  low  coral  islands  stand  and  are  victorious,  for  here 
another  power,  antagonistic  to  the  former,  takes  part  in  the 
contest.  The  organic  forces  separate  the  atoms  of  carbonate 
of  lime,  one  by  one,  from  the  foaming  breakers,  and  unite 
them  into  a symmetrical  structure ; myriads  of  architects  are 
at  work  day  and  night,  month  after  month,  and  we  see  their 
soft  and  gelatinous  bodies,  through  the  agency  of  the  vital 
laws,  conquering  the  great  mechanical  power  of  the  waves  of 
the  ocean,  which  neither  the  art  of  man  nor  the  mechanical 
works  of  nature  could  successfully  resist.”  The  animals  which 
produce  coral  are  very  simple,  and  resemble  plants  both  in 
their  figures  and  colors.

THE  FIRST  FORMED  STRATIFIED  ROCKS. 

The  adoption  of  the  theory,  that  our  earth  was  once  in  a 
state  of  entire  molten  fluidity,  involves  the  existence  of  a sub- 
sequent period,  when  its  primeval  crust  had  sufficiently  cooled 
down  to  allow  of  the  condensation  of  watery  vapor  and  of  the 
existence  of  a sea  upon  its  surface.  Whenever  this  happened, 
the  eroding  and  destructive  action  of  water  must  have  imme- 
diately manifested  itself,  while  the  particles  of  the  consolida- 
ted igneous  crust,  worn  off  by  the  action  of  waves,  tides,  and 
currents,  and  deposited  as  sediments,  would  naturally  produce 
stratified  formations. 

The  internal  heat  of  the  earth  at  that  period,  however,  must 
have  continued  to  act  with  great  intensity  near  the  surface, 
and  the  strata  first  deposited,  consequently,  were,  in  all  prob- 
ability, soon  greatly  metamorphosed,  i.  e.,  remelted  down  to 
form  igneous  rocks,  or  converted  into  hard  crystalline  semi- 
igneous  rocks,  that  retained,  in  part,  their  original  lines  of 
stratification. 

Whether  any  of  these  first  formed  stratified  rocks  are  in  ex- 
istence, and  open  to  our  inspection,  it  is  impossible  to  affirm. 
Some  geologists  incline  to  the  opinion  that  they  were  entirely 
remelted,  and  are  now  represented  by  the  older  or  funda- 
mental granites,  which,  in  some  instances,  appear  to  have  an 
obscurely  stratified  structure. 

Be  this  as  it  may,  it  is,  however,  a matter  of  fact,  that  the 
oldest  rocks  of  which  we  have  any  knowledge,  which  exhibit 
evidence  of  a sedimentary  origin,  appear  to  have  been  formed 
under  conditions  analogous  to  those  above  supposed.  Thus, 
they  are  all  more  or  less  crystalline  and  indurated  ; their  lines 
of  stratification  are  indistinct,  and  often  altogether  oblitera- 
ted; and  their  whole  aspect  is  very  different  from  what  is 
usually  ascribed  to  rocks  deposited  in  water. — WelW  Illustra- 
ted Geology. 

FORMATION  OF  COAL. 

It  is  now  universally  admitted  by  geologists,  that  coal  is  a 
mass  of  compressed,  altered,  and  mineralized  vegetation,  just 
as  sandstone  is  consolidated  sand,  and  the  slate  and  shale  con. 
solidated  clay  or  mud. 

The  evidence  upon  which  the  belief  is  founded  may  be 
briefly  stated,  as  follows : 

1st.  The  enormous  profusion  of  fossil  plants,  in  the  form  of 


GEOLOGICAL  ITEMS.

impressions  of  leaves,  trunks,  branches,  and  barks  of  trees, 
found  in  immediate  connection  with  coal  seams.  2d.  Coal  is 
composed  of  carbon,  hydrogen,  and  oxygen,  the  same  ele- 
ments (though  differing  in  proportion)  which  enter  into  the 
composition  of  plants.  3d.  The  substance  of  coal,  when  ex- 
amined under  the  microscope,  affords  unmistakable  evidence 
of  a vegetable  (cellular)  structure.  4th.  All  the  stages  of 
gradation  between  perfect  wood  and  perfect  coal  may  be 
traced  with  the  greatest  certainty. 

But  granting  the  vegetable  origin  of  coal,  the  question  im- 
mediately suggests  itself:  Under  what  circumstances  could 
so  great  an  amount  of  vegetable  matter  have  ever  accumu- 
lated ? — the  magnitude  of  which  may  be  realized  in  a degree, 
from  the  asserted  fact  “ that  all  the  forests  of  the  United 
States,  if  gathered  into  one  heap,  would  fail  to  furnish  the  ma- 
terials of  a single  coal  seam  equal  to  that  of  Pittsburg,  Penn.” 

Furthermore,  coal  is  found  stratified,  laminated,  and  ex- 
tended, in  horizontal  beds,  which  often  cover  very  large  areas, 
with  a nearly  constant  thickness — the  great  Pittsburg  coal 
seam,  above  referred  to  for  example,  having  a nearly  uniform 
thickness  of  from  eight  to  twelve  feet,  and  is  estimated  to 
have  once  covered  a surface  of  90,000  square  miles.  Coal, 
moreover,  is  ordinarily  encased  between  beds  of  shale  or 
sandstone,  which  bear  evident  proof  of  having  been  slowly 
deposited  in  quiet  waters.  In  some  coal  fields,  as  many  as 
seventy  seams  of  coal,  varying  in  thickness  from  a few  inches 
to  four,  six,  eight,  ten,  twelve,  and  twenty  feet,  occur  thus  in- 
terstratified  with  shales  and  sandstones ; and  yet,  notwith- 
standing these  frequent  alternations  of  material,  the  purity  of 
the  coal  is  such,  that  it  rarely  contains  any  considerable  ad- 
mixture of  mud,  sand,  or  other  foreign  mineral  substances. 

In  explanation  of  these  phenomena,  various  hypotheses 
have  been  suggested,  but  the  general  opinion  of  the  best  ge- 
ologists of  the  present  day  is,  that  the  vegetable  matter  con- 
stituting coal,  must,  in  the  main,  have  grown  and  accumu- 
lated in  immense  jungles  and  peat  mosses  for  many  years  ; 
that  the  land  must  have  then  sunk,  and  become  the  basin  of  a 
lake  or  estuary,  into  which  rivers  carried  mud  and  sand ; these^ 
covering  the  vegetable  matter,  gradually  consolidated  into 
shales  and  sandstones,  while  the  vegetable  matter  itself  un- 
derwent the  process  of  mineralization,  and  was  converted  into

coal.  This  being  done,  it  is  supposed  that  the  area  of  deposit 
was  again  elevated,  so  as  to  become  once  more  the  scene  of 
luxuriant  vegetation  ; then  again  submerged,  and  overlaid  by 
new  deposits  of  sandstone  and  shale;  then  once  more  elevated 
and  covered  with  plants,  and  again  submerged ; and  these  al- 
ternations of  submergence  and  elevations  are  presumed  to 
have  taken  place  as  often  as  there  are  beds  of  coal  in  any  par-^ 
ticular  coal  field. — Well’s  Illustrated  Geology. 

CLIMATIC  CONDITIONS  OF  THE  CARBONIFEROUS  ERA. 

There  is  one  circumstance  in  connection  with  the  formation 
of  coal  which  has  given  rise  to  a vast  amount  of  ingenious 
speculation  and  hypotheses,  viz : the  apparent  sameness  of 
external  conditions  over  such  extensive  areas  of  the  earth  as 
are  now  occupied  by  our  known  coal  fields.  Thus,  the  same 
gigantic  ferns  and  club-mosses  are  found  alike  in  the  coal 
fields  of  America,  Europe,  Melville  Island,  Greenland,  and 
Australia — regions  widely  separated,  and  at  once  tropical, 
temperate,  and  frigid.  To  account  for  this  luxuriance  and 
homogeneity  of  vegetable  growth  various  causes  have  been 
suggested,  as  the  earth’s  central  heat,  a change  in  the  earth’s 
axis,  a larger  percentage  of  carbonic  acid  in  the  atmosphere, 
the  planetary  system  moving  through  warmer  regions  of  space^ 
and  the  like ; but  thus  far  geologists  have  arrived  at  no  definite 
conclusions  on  the  subject. 

Deposits  of  carbonaceous  matter  have  occurred  at  almost 
every  period  of  the  earth’s  history,  as  is  evidenced  by  the  fact 
that  thin  seams  of  coal  are  found  in  almost  all  the  geological 
systems ; but  the  coal  beds  which  admit  of  economical  work- 
ing are  almost  exclusively  confined  to  the  carboniferous  sys- 
tem. The  only  exceptions  are  a few  coal  fields  belonging  to 
the  Oolitic  or  Jurassic  system,  which,  in  Virginia  and  some 
other  localities,  admit  of  profitable  mining.  It  seems,  there- 
fore, certain,  that  whatever  may  have  been  the  conditions 
which  allowed  of  so  abundant  a terrestrial  vegetation  at  this 
particular  epoch  of  the  earth’s  history,  those  conditions  ceased 
about  the  time  when  the  era  of  the  Carboniferous  system  ter- 
minated. A high  temperature  was  evidently  not  one  of  these 
conditions,  for  there  are  evidences  of  it  afterwards;  and  some 
authorities  incline  to  the  belief  that  the  superabundance  of 
carbonic  acid  gas,  which  is  supposed  to  have  existed  during 


(CSCTvui

this  era,  was  expended  before  its  close.  “There  can  be  no 
doubt  that  the  infusion  of  a large  amount  of  this  gas  into  the 
atmosphere  at  the  present  day  would  be  attended  by  precisely 
the  same  circumstances  as  in  the  time  of  the  coal  epoch.  The 
higher  forms  of  animal  life  would  not  have  a place  on  earth. 
Vegetation  would  be  enormous;  and  coal  strata  would  be 
formed  from  the  vast  accumulations  of  woody  matter,  which 
would  gather  in  every  favorable  locality.” 

DISTRIBUTION  OF  COAL, 

Coal  is  very  widely  distributed  over  the  world,  although 
some  countries  are  more  highly  favored  than  others.  Avail- 
able coal  fields  occur  in  Great  Britain ; in  Spain,  France,  Bel- 
gium and  Middle  Europe;  in  India,  China  and  Japan  ; in  the 
islands  of  the  Indian  Archipelago ; in  Australia  and  New 
Zealand;  in  South  America,  Chili  and  Peru;  in  Greenland, 
Melville  Island  and  in  British  America.  But  nowhere  is  the 
coal  formation  more  extensively  displayed  than  in  the  United 
States,  and  nowhere  are  its  beds  of  greater  thickness,  more 
convenient  for  working,  or  of  .more  valuable  quality. 

The  eastern  half  of  the  continent  of  North  America  exhibits 
five  great  coal  fields,  extending  from  Newfoundland  to  Arkan- 
sas : 1.  The  Uvst^  or  most  eastern,  is  that  of  the  British  Prov- 
inces, Newfoundland,  Nova  Scotia,  and  New  Brunswick.  Its 
area  is  probably  about  9,000  square  miles,  though  only  one 
tenth  of  this  surface  appears  to  be  underlaid  by  productive 
coal  seams.  2.  The  second^  or  Great  Appalachian  coal  field, 
extends  from  Pennsylvania  and  Ohio  to  near  Tuscaloosa,  in 
the  interior  of  Alabama.  It  is  about  875  miles  long,  and  is  es- 
timated to  contain  70,000  square  miles.  3.  A thirds  and 
smaller  coal  field,  occupies  the  center  of  the  State  of  Michi- 
gan ; it  covers  an  area  of  about  15,000  square  miles,  but  is  not 
very  productive.  4.  A fourth  great  coal  field  is  situated  in 
the  States  of  Kentucky,  Indiana  and  Illionois.  Its  area  is  es- 
timated at  50,000  square  miles.  5.  The  fifths  and  most  western, 
occurs  in  Iowa,  Missouri  and  Arkansas,  and  occupies  an  area 
of  about  57,000  square  miles.  Besides  these  great  deposits, 
coal  is  also  found  in  New  England,  Kansas,  Nebraska,  and 
Texas. 

The  aggregate  space  underlaid  by  the  coal  fields  of  North 
America  amounts  to  at  least  200,000  square  miles,  or  to  more

than  twenty  times  the  area  which  includes  all  the  known  coal 
deposits  of  Europe. — Wells’  Geology. 

MISCELIANEOUS. 

The  number  of  species  of  animals  that  now  inhabit  the  globe 
is  about  250,000.  The  number  of  fossil  species  of  animals  and 
plants  cannot  be  reliably  estimated,  but  it  is  safe  to  say  that 
the  number  of  the  different  extinct  species  that  have  been 
found  in  fossil  state  exceeds  many  times  the  number  of  all  the 
different  species  now  living. 

Geologists  claim  four  distinct  periods  or  ages  of  the  earth’s 
history.  Beginning  at  the  oldest,  they  are  called  or  named, 
First,  the  Azoic  period,  or  period  deficient  of  the  evidence 
of  life  ; Second,  Paleozoic,  or  period  of  ancient  life ; Third,  the 
Mesozoic,  or  period  of  middle  life ; Fourth,  or  last  period, 
called  Oainozoic.  This  period  includes  the  Post  Tertiary,  or 
recent  system  of  rocks  or  period  of  recent  life. 

A picture  of  the  Azoic  period  has  thus  been  imagined  by 
Hugh  Miller.  “During  the  early  part  of  the  Azoic  period  we 
may  imagine,”  he  says,  “ a dark  atmosphere  of  steam  and  va- 
por, which,  for  age  after  age  conceals  the  face  of  the  sun,  and 
through  which  the  moon  or  stars  never  penetrates ; oceans  of 
thermal  waters,  heated  in  a thousand  centers  to  the  boiling 
point ; low,  half  molten  islands,  dim  through  the  fog  and  scarce 
more  fixed  than  waves  themselves,  that  heave  and  tremble 
under  the  impulsions  of  the  igneous  agencies  ; roaring  geysers 
that  ever  and  anon  throw  up  their  intermittent  jets  of  boiling 
fluid,  vapor  and  thick  steam,  from  these  tremulous  lands ; and 
in  the  dim  outskirts  of  the  scene,  the  red  gleam  of  fire  shot 
forth  from  yawning  cracks  and  deep  chasms.  Such  would 
be  the  probable  state  of  things  among  the  times  of  the  earlier 
gneiss  and  mica-chist  deposits — times  buried  deep  in  that 
chaotic  night  which  must  have  continued  to  exist  for,  may 
hap,  many  ages  after  that  beginning  of  things  in  which  God 
created  the  heavens  and  the  earth.” 

At  length,  however,  as  the  earth’s  surface  gradually  cooled 
down  and  the  enveloping  waters  sunk  to  a lower  temperature, 
let  us  suppose  during  the  latter  times  of  the  mica  schist  and 
the  earlier  times  of  the  clay  slate,  the  steam  atmosphere  would 
become  less  dense  and  thick,  and  finally  the  rays  of  the  sun 
would  struggle  through  it;  at  first  doubtful  and  diffused,  form-

ing  a faint  twilight,  but  gradually  strengthening,  as  the  later 
ages  of  the  slate  formation  passed  away,  until  at  the  close  of 
the  great  primary  period  day  and  night — the  one  still  dim  and 
grey,  the  other  wrapped  in  the  pall  of  darkness — would  suc- 
ceed each  other  as  now,  as  the  earth  revolved  on  its  axis. 

The  number  of  active  volcanoes  on  our  globe  are  about  275. 
Humboldt  suggests  the  idea  that  volcanoes  are  merely  vents, 
located  above  some  far  extended  subterranean  crack  or  fissure 
in  the  crust  of  the  earth,  through  which  the  molten  matter  of 
the  interior  escapes  to  the  surface. 

The  falls  of  Niagara  are  150  feet  in  height,  and  the  average 
amount  of  water  passing  over  each  minute  is  estimated  at 
670,000  tons.  This  water,  by  its  abrading  power,  has  undoubt- 
edly excavated  for  itself  the  gorge  or  channel — seven  miles 
long,  200  feet  deep,  and  1,200  to  2,000  feet  wide — which  now 
intervenes  between  the  falls  and  Lake  Ontario.  The  minimum 
time  required  to  wear  through  this  space  has  been  estimated 
by  Sir  Charles  Lyell,  at  35,000  years. — WelVs  Illustrated  Geol. 

STRATIFIED  ROCKS. 

The  stratified  rocks  of  Great  Britain  have  been  studied  more 
than  any  other  of  the  earth,  and  as  the  result  of  these  investi- 
gations it  has  been  found  that  the  extinct  mammalia,  found  in 
fossiliferous  rocks,  is  more  numerous  by  half  than  all  the 
species  now  existing;  and  of  molluscs,  the  fossil  species  nine 
times  as  numerous  as  the  living  species ; the  fossil  fish  five 
times,  the  reptiles  ten  times,  and  the  radiate  fourteen  times. 

The  geologist  finds  no  trace  of  that  golden  age  of  the  world 
of  which  the  poets  delighted  to  sing,  when  all  creatures  lived 
together  in  peace,  and  wars  and  bloodshed  were  unknown. 
Ever  since  animal  life  began  on  our  planet,  there  existed,  in 
all  departments  of  being,  carniverous  classes,  who  could  not 
live  but  by  the  death  of  their  neighbors ; and  who  were  armed, 
in  consequence,  for  their  destruction,  like  the  butcher  with 
his  axe  and  knife,  and  the  angler  with  his  hook  and  spear. 

In  Europe,  the  caverns  or  caves  that  have  been  discovered, 
have  contained  the  remains  or  skeletons  of  a great  many  of 
the  different  species  of  animals  that  now  inhabit  the  earth, 
and  of  others  that  are  now  extinct.  For  instance,  the  bones 
and  skeletons  of  the  mammoth  are  found  in  great  numbers; 
also  of  the  mastadon,  the  epoch  of  the  mastadon,  in  a geolog- 
ical sense,  is  very  recent.  Some  think  that  the  mammoths 
and  mastadons  did  not  become  entirely  extinct  in  this  country 
until  after  the  advent  of  man.  Sir  Charles  Lyell  is  of  the 
opinion  that  the  period  of  the  extinction  of  the  mastadon, 
although  recent,  must  have  been  many  thousand  years  ago! 


PHILOSOPHY. 

:o; 

No  two  particles  of  matter  can  occupy  the  same  space  at  the 
same  time. 

All  bodies  weigh  heaviest  at  the  earth’s  surfac-e.  A body 
that  weighs  10  pounds  at  the  earth’s  surface  will  weigh  but 
2^  pounds  4,000  miles  high. 

Take  two  cog-wheels  of  the  same  size;  let  one  stand  still 
put  the  cogs  together  and  put  the  other  in  motion,  and  when 
it  has  made  one-half  revolution  around  the  standing  wheel  it 
will  have  made  a full  revolution  on  its  own  center,  notwith- 
standing only  one-half  of  the  cogs  of  its  own  surface  has 
touched  the  standing  wheel. 

The  atmosphere  is  the  lightest  in  wet,  rainy  weather ; yet 
we  find  people  very  often  who  think  different.  The  medium 
pressure  of  the  atmosphere  is  about  fifteen  pounds  to  the 
square  inch,  but  this  is  not  always  the  case.  The  pressure 
will  vary  in  the  same  locality,  and  sometimes  be  greater  or 
less.  The  medium  bight  that  atmospheric  pressure  will  raise 
water  is  about  33  feet;  but  this  calculation  only  holds  good  at 
the  level  of  the  sea,  because  as  we  ascend  from  the  sea  level 
the  pressure  becomes  less ; hence,  our  calculations  for  raismg 
water  by  atmospheric  pressure  must  be  governed  by  the  pres- 
sure that  atmosphere  has  at  the  bight  of  the  position  above 
Ihe  sea  level.  Illustration : At  sea  level  atmospheric  pressure 
fifteen  pounds  to  the  square  inch ; one  mile  above  sea  level, 
about  12^  pounds ; two  miles  above,  10  pounds  ; three  miles, 
7^  pounds ; consequently,  on  an  elevation  three  miles  high, 
water  cannot  be  raised  but  about  16^  feet  by  the  weight  of 
the  air. 

The  top  or  upper  part  of  a wagon  wheel  passes  through  a

The  piston  rod  of  a steam  engine  makes  two  complete  stops  at 
eveiy  revolution  of  the  crank  attached  to  the  end  of  the  pitman. 

Horse  Power.— The  average  power  of  a horse  is  sufficient  to 
raise  a weight  of  about  23,000  pounds  one  foot  per  minute,  but 
when  calculating  the  horse  power  of  a steam  engine  it  is  esti- 
tmated  at  33,000  pounds.  It  then  follows  that  a ten  horse 
powers  team  engine  is,  in  fact,  about  equal  to  fourteen  average 
horses. 

Power  of  Steam. — One  cubic  foot  of  water  converted  into 
steam  will  raise  the  enormous  weight  of  three  and  a half  mil- 
lio'n  pounds  one  foot,  or  seven  hundred  pounds  one  mile  high. 

All  bodies  or  particles  of  matter  fall  to  the  eath  by  the  at- 
traction of  gravity,  and  their  speed  is  in  proportion  to  their 
density ; but  take  away  the  resisting  force  of  the  atmosphere, 
then  a cork  or  feather  will  fall  as  fast  as  a bullet. 

Resultant  motion  may  be  illustrated  by  holding  a ball  or 
weight  in  your  hand  and  dropping  it  from  the  top  of  your  head 
while  running,  you  will  find  that  you  cannot  run  fast  enough 
to  overtake  the  ball  before  it  strikes  the  ground. 

A ball  may  be  shot  from  a cannon  from  the  top  of  a tower 
on  a horizontal  plain,  and  another  dropped  from  the  mouth  of 
the  cannon  at  the  same  time,  and  they  will  both  strike  the 
earth  at  the  same  time,  provided  the  surface  be  horizontal 
with  the  cannon. 

Lever  power  is  almost  indispensable,  or  in  other  words, 
without  it  we  could  scarcely  do  anything;  yet  to  take  in  con- 
sideration distance  and  speed,  there  is  not  a particle  of  power 
gained  by  a lever.  Illustration : Suppose  a lever  20  feet  long, 
the  fulcrum  2 feet  from  one  end  of  the  lever,  10  pounds  on  the 
long  end  of  the  lever  is  equal  to  100  pounds  on  the  short  end ; 
but  to  raise  the  100  pounds  one  foot  the  ten  pounds  passes 
through  10  feet  of  space,  consequently  it  travels  ten  times  as 
fast  as  the  100  pounds,  so  all  that  is  gained  in  power  is  lost  in 
speed  and  distance  ; because  if  both  ends  of  the  lever  was  of 
the  same  length  while  one  end  of  the  lever  was  passing 
through  ten  feet  of  space  the  other  end  would  pass  through 
the  same  ten  feet ; and  ten  pounds  would  raise  ten  pounds  ten 
feet  high,  or  ten  times  as  high  as  the  ten  pounds  on  the  long 
end  of  the  lever  would  raise  the  100  pounds  on  the  short  end.

OEIGIN  OF  THE  SOLAE  SYSTEM!. 

Many  theories  have  been  propounded  at  different  periods 
of  the  history  of  astronomy,  respecting  the  original  formation 
of  our  Solar  System,  as  well  as  all  other  suns  and  systems, 
which  it  has  pleased  the  great  creator  op  all  things  to  call 
into  existence,  but  no  one  has  gained  so  great  favor  or  excited 
so  violent  opposition,  as  the  theory  first  proposed  by  Sir  Wil- 
liam Herschel,  and  afterwards  more  especially  applied  by  tha 
celebrated  La  Place  to  the  formation  of  the  solar  system. 

This  theory  may  be  thus  stated  :—In  the  beginning  ail  the 
matter  composing  the  sun,  planets,  and  satellites  was  diffused 
through  space,  in  a state  of  exceedingly  minute  division,  the 
ultimate  particles  being  held  asunder  by  the  repulsion  of 
heat.  In  process  of  time,  under  the  action  of  gravitation,  th? 
mass  assumed  a round  or  globular  shape,  and  the  particles 
tending  to  the  centre  of  gravity,  a motion  of  rotation  on  an 
axis  would  commence.  The  great  mass,  now  gradually  cool 
ing  and  condensing,  must  increase  its  rotary  motion,  thereby 
increasing  the  centrifugal  force  at  the  equator  of  the  revolv- 
ing mass,  until,  finally,  a ring  of  matter  is  actually  detached 
from  the  equator,  and  is  left  revolving  in  space  by  the  shrink- 
ing away  from  it,  of  the  interior  mass.  If  now  we  follow  this 
isolated  ring  of  matter,  we  find  every  reason  to  believe  that 
its  particles  will  gradually  coalesce  into  a globular  form,  and 
in  turn  form  satellites,  as  it  was  itself  formed.  It  is  unneces- 
sary to  pursue  the  reasoning  further,  for  the  same  laws  which 
produce  one  planet  from  the  equator  of  the  central  revolving 
mass,  may  produce  many — until  finally,  the  process  is  ended 
by  a partial  solidification  of  the  central  mass,  so  great,  that 
gravity  aided  by  the  attraction  of  cohesion,  is  more  than  suf 
ficient  to  resist  the  action  of  the  centrifugal  force,  and  no  fur 
ther  cha'uge  occurs.

It  has  been  urged  in  favor  of  this  theory,  that  it  accounts 
for  the  striking  peculiarities  which  are  found  in  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  solar  system.  That  the  rings  of  Saturn  are  positive 
proofs  of  the  truth  of  the  theory,  they  having  cooled  and  con- 
densed without  breaking.  That  the  individuals  constituting 
a system  thus  produced,  must  revolve  and  rotate  as  do  the 
planets  and  satellites,  and  in  orbits  of  the  precise  figure  and 
position,  as  those  occupied  by  the  planets.  It  accounts  for 
the  rotation  of  the  sun  on  its  axis,  and  presents  a solution  of 
the  strange  appearance  connected  with  the  sun  called  the 
Zodiacal  Light.  It  goes  further  and  accounts  for  the  forma- 
tion of  single,  double,  and  multiple  suns  and  stars — and  by  the 
remains  of  chaotic  matter  in  the  interstics  between  the  stars, 
and  which  are  finally  drawn  to  some  particular  sun,  whose  in- 
fluence in  the  end  preponderates,  accounts  for  the  comets 
which  enter  our  system  from  every  region  in  space. 

In  support  of  this  theory  it  has  been  urged  that  the  comets, 
in  their  organization,  presents  us  with  specimens  of  this  finely 
divided  nebulous  or  chaotic  matter — and  that  the  telescope 
reveals  cloudy  patches  of  light  of  indefinite  extent,  scattered 
throughout  space,  which  give  evidence  of  being  yet  unformed 
and  chaotic.  That  many  stars  are  found  in  which  the  bright 
nucleus  or  centre  is  surrounded  by  a halo  or  haze  of  nebulous 
light,  and  that  round  nebulous  bodies  are  seen  with  the  teles- 
cope, of  an  extent  vastly  greater  than  would  fill  the  entire 
space  encircled  by  the  enormous  orbit  of  the  planet  La 
Verrier,  or  having  a diameter  greater  than  7,000  millions  of 
miles. 

Such  are  a few  of  the  arguments  in  support  of  this  most  ex- 
traordinary theory.  We  now  present  the  objections  which 
have  been  most  strongly  insisted  on.  The  retrogade  motions 
of  the  satellites  of  Herschel,  and  their  great  inclination  to 
the  plane  of  the  ecliptic  can  not  be  accounted  for  by  this 
theory.  That  computation  shows  that  no  atmosphere  of  con- 
densed nebulous  matter  can  extend  to  so  great  a distance  from 
the  sun,  as  does  the  matter  composing  the  Zodiacal  Light,  and, 
finally,  that  the  nebulous  matter  in  the  heavens  will  ulti- 
mately be  resolved  into  immense  congeries  and  clusters  of 
stars,  whose  great  distance  has  hitherto  defied  the  power  of 
the  best  instruments. 

In  reply  to  the  first  objection,  the  friends  of  the  theory  doubt 


108 


SKETCHES  OP  ASTRONOMY. 


the  facts  with  reference  to  the  satellites  of  Herschel.  They 
reply  that  the  matter  composing  the  Zodiacal  Light  being  in 
the  nature  of  cometary  matter,  is  thrown  to  a greater  distance 
from  the  sun  than  gravity  would  warrant,  by  that  power  resid- 
ing in  the  sun  which  is  able  on  the  approach  of  comets  to 
project  those  enormous  trains  of  light,  which  sometimes  render 
them  so  wonderful.  As  to  the  last  objection,  it  is  urged  that 
although  many  nebulm  will  doubtless  be  resolved  into  stars, 
by  using  more  powerful  telescopes,  yet  that  these  same  teles- 
copes will  reveal  more  new  nebulae  which  cannot  be  resolved, 
than  they  will  resolve — and  as  to  the  existence  of  nebulous 
matter,  it  is  perfectly  demonstrated  by  the  physical  organiza- 
tion of  comets,  and  the  existence  of  nebulous  stars. 

Such  was  the  state  of  the  Astronomical  argument,  when 
Lord  Kosse’s  Great  Reflector  was  first  applied  to  the  explora- 
tion of  the  distant  regions  of  space.  In  a religious  point  of 
view,  this  theory  had  excited  no  small  amount  of  discussion, 
in  consequence  of  its  supposed  Atheistical  tendencies.  The 
friends  of  the  theory  contend  that  it  was  no  more  Atheistical 
to  admit  the  formation  of  the  universe  by  law,  than  to  acknowl- 
edge that  it  is  now  sustained  by  laws.  Indeed  since  we  must 
go  to  the  first  great  cause  for  matter  in  its  chaotic  state,  as 
well  as  for  the  laws  which  govern  matter,  that  this  theory  gave 
to  us  a grander  view  of  the  omniscience  and  omnipotence  of 
God  than  could  be  obtained  from  any  other  source.  In  fine, 
that  it  harmonized  with  the  declaration  of  scripture,  which 
tells  us  that  “In  the  beginning  God  created  the  heavens  and 
the  earth,  and  the  earth  was  without  form  and  void”  If  the 
earth  came  into  existence  in  its  present  condition,  then  it  had 
foi'm  and  was  not  void.  Hence,  this  first  grand  declaration  of 
the  inspired  writer  must  refer  to  the  formation  of  the  matter 
of  which  the  heavens  and  earth  were  afterwards  formed.  Some 
went  so  far  as  to  trace  out  dimly  a full  account  of  this  theory 
in  the  order  of  creation,  as  laid  down  in  Gensis. 

Let  us  now  proceed  to  the  discoveries  of  Lord  Rosse,  and  their 
influence  on  this  greatly  disputed  theory.  The  space  penetrat- 
ing power  of  his  six  feet  reflector  is  much  greater  than  that 
of  Sir  William  Herschel’s  great  telescope,  and  it  was  anti- 
cipated that  many  nebulae  which  were  unresolved  into  clusters 
of  stars  by  Hershel,  would  yield  under  the  greater  power  and 
light  of  Lord  Rosse’s  telescope.  This  has  proved  to  be  the 


SKETCHES  OP  ASTRONOMY. 


109 


fact.  Very  many  nebulae  have  been  removed  from  their  old 
places,  and  must  hereafter  figure  among  the  clusters,  while  we 
are  informed  that  many  yet  remain,  even  of  the  old  nebulae, 
which  defy  the  power  of  the  monster  telescope. 

The  most  remarkable  object  which  has  been  resolved  by 
Lord  Rosse,  is  the  great  nebula  in  Orion,  one  of  the  most 
extraordinary  objects  in  the  heavens.  Its  size  is  enormous, 
and  its  figure  very  extraordinary.  In  certain  parts  adjoining 
the  nebula  the  heavens  are  jet  hlacJc,  either  from  contrast  or  by 
the  vacuity  of  these  regions.  Two  immense  spurs  of  light  are 
seen  to  project  from  the  principal  mass  of  the  nebula,  and  to 
extend  to  a most  extraordinary  distance.  This  will  be  better 
understood,  by  remembering  that  at  the  distance  at  which  this 
nebula  is  removed  from  us,  the  entire  diameter  of  the  earth’s 
orbit,  190  millions  of  miles,  is  an  invisable  point,  less  than  one 
second,  while  this  nebula  extends  to  many  thousands  of  times 
this  distance,  and  more  probably  to  many  millions  of  times. 

Several  stars  have  been  found,  and  are  visible  on  the  nebula, 
but  have  hitherto  been  regarded  as  being  between  the  eye  of 
the  observer  and  this  remote  object.  Sir  William  Herschel 
was  unable  to  resolve  this  mysterious  body,  and  yet  the  nebula 
gave  indications  of  being  of  the  resolvable  kind  by  its  irreg- 
ular and  curdled  appearance  under  high  powers.  Several 
years  since  Dr.  J.  Lamont,  of  Munich,  after  a rigid  scrutinj^,  of 
this  nebula  with  his  great  Refractor,  pronounced  a portion  of 
it  to  be  composed  of  minute  stellar  points^  and  predicted  its 
final  perfect  resolution  into  stars  by  greater  power.  This  pre- 
diction has  been  fully  verified,  for  Lord  Rosse’s  great  Reflector 
has  solved  the  mystery,  and  filled  this  extraordinary  object 
with  the  “jewelry  of  stars.” 

But  the  question  recurs,  what  have  the  defenders  of  the 
nebular  theory  lost,  or  its  enemies  gained  by  this  interesting 
discovery?  We  are  all  liable  to  reach  conclusions  too  hastily, 
and  to  join  issue  on  false  points.  If  the  nebular  theory  depen- 
ded for  its  existance  upon  the  irresolvability  of  the  nebula  in 
Orion,  then  indeed  has  the  theory  been  entirely  exploded. 
But  this  is  not  the  fact.  No  one  has  asserted  that  the 
great  nebula  in  Orion  was  nebulous  matter^  and  if  it  were  not, 
then  none  existed.  Such  an  issue  would  have  been  a false  cnei, 
had  it  been  made. 

The  theory  has  neither  lost  nor  gained  by  the  discoveries 


110 


SKETCHES  OF  ASTRONOMY, 


thus  far  made;  what  time  may  develope  it  is  impossible  to 
say.  In  case  certain  data  can  be  obtained,  which  appear  to  be 
accessible,  then  indeed  may  we  demonstrate  its  truth  or  false 
hood,  by  mathematical  investigation.  Until  then,  the  safer 
plan  is  neither  to  adopt  nor  reject,  but  investigate  until  abso- 
lute truth  shall  reward  our  long  continued  labor,  and  reveal 
the  mystery  of  the  organization  of  that  stupendous  system,  ot 
which  our  humble  planet  forms  an  insignificant  part. — Smith’s 
Astronomy . 

The  sun  is  the  center  of  the  solar  system,  around  which  all 
other  planets  belonging  to  our  universe  revolve.  The  names 
of  all  the  primary  planets  that  have  been  discovered  that  con- 
stitute the  solar  system,  are  the  Sun,  Mercury,  Venus,  the 
Earth,  Mars,  Jupiter,  Saturn,  Herschel,  Uranus,  Neptune,  and 
twenty-three  asteroids,  or  small  planets.  The  approximate 
distance  each  of  the  large  planets  travel  in  making  one  revo- 


lution around  the  sun  is  about  as  follows :

COMETS. 

Very  little  is  known  of  the  physical  nature  of  comets. 
They  are  thought  by  some  astronomers  to  be  about  as  dense 
as  smoke.  They  are  bodies  that  revolve  around  the  sun  in 
very  elongated  orbits,  and  some  astronomers  think  that  the 
greater  number  visit  our  system  but  once,  and  then  fly  off  in 
nearly  straight  lines,  and  go  to  revolve  around  other  suns  in 
the  far-off  distant  heavens.  The  length  of  the  tail  of  a comet* 
as  measured  by  astronomers,  seem  almost  incredible.

DIEECTIONS  FOR  FINDING  THE  NORTH  STAR,  AT  ANY  TIME. 

Every  pupil  should  be  instructed  in  the  manner  of  pointing 
out  the  North  Star  at  any  time  of  the  night.  If  they  are  ena- 
bled to  do  this  at  any  time,  it  will  assist  them  in  making  other 
important  observations,  as  well  as  being  of  use  on  many  occa- 
sions which  occur  in  the  life  of  every  man.  Many  persons 
have  been  lost  in  ^i^yraivie  or  other  unfrequented  places,  when 
if  they  had  been  able  to  have  told  the  points  of  the  compass 
they  could  have  extricated  themselves  from  their  lost  situa- 
tion. This  may  be  done  in  a very  easy  manner.  There  is 
hardly  a child  of  ten  years  of  age  who  cannot  at  any  time  of 
night  point  out  the  stars  in  the  Great  Bear  which  form  what  is 
called  the  Great  Dipper.  Now  if  an  imaginary  line  be  drawn 
through  the  two  stars  which  form  the  front  edge  of  the  Dipper, 
from  the  bottom  towards  the  top,  and  continued  about  20  de- 
grees, it  will  pass  very  near  the  North  Star — so  near  that  it 
cannot  be  mistaken,  there  being  no  other  stars  of  that  magni- 
tude near  it.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  this  rule  holds 
good  in  whatever  position  the  Dipper  may  be  at  the  time. —

ECLIPSES. 

Eclipses  are  among  the  most  interesting  phenomena  pre- 
sented to  us  by  the  heavenly  bodies.  In  all  ages,  when  an 
eclipse  has  taken  place,  it  has  excited  the  profound  attention 
of  the  learned,  and  the  fears  and  superstitions  of  the  ignorant. 
The  causes  of  eclipses  before  the  seventeenth  century  were 
known  only  to  a few,  and  they  generally  took  advantage  of 
this  knowledge  to  impose  upon  the  credulity  of  the  ignorant 
by  pretending  that  they  were  inspired  by  the  Gods,  Among 
the  ancient  nations,  the  Chaldeans  were  the  foremost  in  their 
observations  of  the  phenomena  of  the  heavens  ; perhaps  this 
was  owing  in  some  measure  to  their  occupation;  they  being 
shepherds  were  obliged  to  watch  their  flocks  by  night  to  pro- 
tect them  from  the  wild  beasts  which  were  at  that  time  num- 
erous. Men  under  such  circumstances  would  naturally  be 
led  to  watch  closely  the  movements  of  the  heavenly  bodies, 
and  more  especially  so,  for  in  the  earlier  periods  of  the  world 
they  had  no  correct  mode  of  reckoning  time  in  order  to  deter- 
mine the  seasons  or  the  proper  seed  time  and  harvest. 

Eclipses  attracted  the  particular  attention  of  the  Chaldeans, 


112 


SKETCHES  OP  ASTRONOMY. 


and  by  a series  of  observations  extended  through  several  cen- 
turies, they  discovered  a very  important  fact  relating  to 
eclipses,  although  they  did  not  understand  the  cause. 

By  comparing  the  records  which  had  been  made  for  a great 
length  of  time,  they  found  that  a certain  period  of  time  elapsed 
between  eclipses  of  the  same  kind  and  magnitude  ; that  is,  if 
18  years,  11  days,  7 hours  and  43  minutes,  were  added  to  the 
time  of  the  happening  of  any  eclipse,  it  would  show  the  time 
of  the  return  of  the  same  eclipse ; the  only  differences  would 
be  that  it  would  not  happen  at  the  same  time  in  the  day  and 
it  would  be  a little  greater  or  less  than  the  previous  eclipse — 
thus  they  were  able  to  predict  eclipses  with  sufficient  accu- 
racy to  answer  their  designs  upon  the  ignorant  without  under- 
standing the  laws  by  which  these  periodical  returns  were 
produced. 

To  explain  this  briefly,  it  must  be  remembered  that  the 
moon’s  orbit  makes  an  angle  with  the  plane  of  the  earth’s  or- 
bit of  5^  deg.;  these  two  points  where  the  moon’s  orbit  cuts 
the  plane  of  the  earth’s  orbit,  are  called  nodes.  Now  we  will 
suppose  that  on  any  day  at  noon  it  is  new  moon,  and  the  moon 
is  just  16  deg.  from  her  descending  node,  the  shadow  of  the 
moon  would  just  touch  the  earth  at  the  north  pole  ; in  223  lu- 
nations, or  18  years,  11  days,  7 hours, 43  minutes  thereafter, 
the  moon  would  come  nearly  to  the  same  position  as  it  was  at 
the  beginning,  consequently  there  would  be  another  small 
eclipse  of  the  sun,  and  at  the  expiration  af  every  223  lunations 
it  would  return,  and  at  each  return  the  moon’s  shadow  would 
pass  across  the  earth  a little  more  to  the  south  until  the 
eclipse  had  appeared  about  77  times,  when  it  would  pass  off 
at  the  south  pole,  occupying  a period  of  1,388  years  : The  same 
period  would  not  commence  again  until  the  expiration  of  12,- 
492  years.  Each  eclipse  which  takes  place  during  any  year,  be- 
longs to  a separate  and  similar  period.  Those  periods  of 
eclipses  which  come  in  at  the  moon’s  ascending  node,  first 
come  on  to  the  earth  at  the  south  pole,  and  at  each  return  the 
moon’s  shadow  passes  across  the  earth  more  to  tlie  north,  and 
after  appearing  about  77  times,  they  finally  leave  the  earth  at 
the  north  pole. — Smitli’s  Astronomy.

IMMENSITY  OF  SPACE. 

Great  is  the  immensity  of  space.  Light  travels  at  the  rate 
of  one  hundred  and  ninety-two  thousand  miles  per  second^ 
and  yet  at  this  great  speed  it  would  take  it  over  thirty  million 
years  to  come  from  some  of  the  far  off  nebulas  to  the  earth. 
Some  ideas  of  the  immensity  of  space  may  be  gathered  by 
the  calculation  of  the  distance  that  light  would  travel  in  thirty 
millions  of  years,  and  then  supposing  that  the  distance  ascer- 
tained by  the  calculation,  was  to  the  remaining  distance  as 
one  drop  of  water  is  to  the  ocean.  In  all  probability  the  most 
powerful  telescope  has  only  brought  to  view  a small  portion 
of  creation.

calculation,  20,000,000,000,000  of  miles  from  the  earth.  To 
assist  the  mind  of  the  reader  to  get  some  idea  of  the  immensity 
of  this  distance,  I have  taken  the  pains  to  make  the  following 
calculation:  Suppose  that  when  the  Lord  past  sentence  upon 
Cain  for  killing  his  brother,  that  he  had  banished  him  to  the 
nearest  fixed  star,  and  had  caused  a whirlwind  or  some  other 
power  to  have  taken  him  at  the  rate  of  one  thousand  miles  an 
hour  day  and  night  from  that  time  till  now,  counting  the  time 
past  six  thousand  years,  at  360  days  travel  to  the  year,  he 
would  have  traveled  at  the  end  of  the  six  thousand  years  only 
one  3.80th  part  of  the  distance,  and  at  the  same  rate  of  speed 
at  the  end  of  two  million  years  from  this  time  he  would  not 
reach  his  destination,  but  would  yet  be  one  trillion  three  hun- 
dred and  eighty-two  billion  foua-  hundred  million  miles  from 
his  future  home,  or  place  of  banishment.  So  you  see  that  after 
two  million  and  six  thousand  years  travel  at  the  enormous 
speed  of  one  thousand  miles  an  hour,  leaves  a distance  yet 
untraveled  equal  to  about  fifty -five  million  times  the  distance 
of  Cook’s  voyage  around  the  earth.

The  number  of  Protestants  of  the  world,  according  to  the  statistics  of 
all  nations,  is  about  as  follows ; 


United  States 33,000,000 

Great  Britain  and  Ireland 25,000,000 

Asia  and  Ai’menia 6,000,000

The  German  Empire...... 25,000,000 

Throughout  the  rest  of  the  world 13,000»000 


Total , 121.000,000 


Or  about  one  in  every  fourteen  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  world  are 
Protestants.  Of  this  number  there  is  about  one  in  every  four  identified 
with  or  members  of  the  different  Protestant  churches  of  the  world.  It 
then  follows  that  the  entire  membership  of  all  the  Protestant  churches 
of  the  world  amounts  to  one  in  fifty-six  of  the  inhabitants. 

The  number  of  Roman  Catholics  (approximately  correct)  is  as  follows: 


United  States 3,500,000 

Great  Britain  and  Ireland 6,000,000 

Russia 7,200,000 

South  America 21,000,000

Pagans,  or  those  who  worshipped  idols,  or  created  things  or  beings, 
they  number  near  three- fourths  of  the  entire  inhabitants  of  the  earth. 
They  number  at  present  about  1,000,000,000.  This  includes  the  Moham- 
medans, the  Buddhists  and  the  Mormons,  or  Latter  Dry  Saints.  Of  this 
number  there  is  to  be  found  in  the  United  States,  of  Mormons,  75,000. 
And  strange  as  it  may  seem,  we  have  about  60,000  Ueathen  idol  worship-

SABBATH  SCHOOLS. 


:o: 

The  first  Sabbath  School  that  we  have  been  able  to  find  a 
record  of,  was  established  in  the  year  1769  in  the  town  of  Wy- 
cumbe,  England,  by  a young  Methodist  lady  by  the  name  of 
Hannah  Ball.  A few  years  after  this  another  young  lady  who 
afterwards  became  the  wife  of  Samuel  Bradburn,  suggested 
the  idea  of  Sabbath  Schools  to  Robert  Rakes.  He  being  a 
man  of  quick  perception  and  great  energy  saw  at  once  the  ad- 
vantages to  be  gained  by  schools  of  this  kind.  He  immedi- 
ately set  to  work  and  organized  a school  in  the  city  of  Glou- 
cester, England,  and  through  his  labors  and  influence  other 
cities  of  that  country  were  induced  to  establish  Sabbath 
Schools  and  work  for  the  Sunday  School  interest. 

The  first  Sabbath  School  established  in  the  United  States 
was  organized  by  Bishop  Asbury,  in  the  year  1786,  in  Hanover 
County,  Va.,  at  the  house  of  Mr.  Thomas  Cranshaw.  The  pro- 
gress of  Sabbath  Schools  in  the  United  States  until  about  the 
year  1830,  was  rather  slow,  as  but  few  of  the  Christian  denom- 
inations up  to  that  time  had  become  interested  in  the  Sunday 
School  cause.  But  one  by  one,  the  different  organizations  of 
Christians  have  gradually  adopted  the  institution  of  Sabbath 
Schools,  till  now,  the  popular  method  of  all  churches  for  the 
religious  training  of  the  young  is  the  Sunday  School.  Now,  in 
every  land  and  nation,  where  Christian  people  reside,  the 
Sabbath  School  cause  is  advancing. 

The  organization  of  Sabbath  Schools, 

Remember  one  and  all, 

Was  first  established  in  Wycumbe, 

By  Miss  Hannah  Ball. 

After  this  Miss  Bradburn 
Suggested  to  Robert  Rakes 
To  organize  a Sabbath  School, 

And  helped  him  set  the  stakes.

SABBATH  SCHOOLS. 


They  organized  in  Gloucester, 

The  banner  they  unfurled, 

The  fame  and  name  of  which  has  spread, 
Almost  throughout  the  world. 

The  honor  due  to  Eobert  Rakes, 

Miss  Bradburn  and  Miss  Ball. 

Should  not  be  given  to  Eobert  Rakes, 

But  given  to  them  all. 

For  the  institution  of  Sabbath  Schools, 
The  honor  is  due  Miss  Ball. 

To  her  for  lighting  up  the  lamp. 

We  give  the  honor  all. 

Miss  Bradburn  she  is  worthy  of 
Our  honor,  love,  and  praise, 

For  her  suggestions,  and  her  work. 

In  keeping  up  the  blaze. 

And  to  Robert  Rakes  is  due 
The  honor  of  school  extension, 

For  adding  fuel  to  the  light. 

And  widening  its  dimension.

HISTORY 


OF 

MONTGOMERY  COUNTY 


Montgomery  County  is  located  in  the  western  half  of  the 
State  of  Indiana,  in  the  second  tier  of  counties  from  the  west, 
about  one  hundred  miles  south  of  Lake  Michigan,  and  near  one 
hundred  and  twenty-five  miles  north  of  the  Ohio  River.  It  is 
within  the  limits  of  the  great  central  lines  of  travel  from  east 
to  west.  Its  facilities  for  shipments  of  produce  and  stock  are 
not  surpassed  by  any  of  its  sister  counties. 

The  county  lies  in  a region  remarkably  well  adapted  to  the 
cultivation  of  the  various  kinds  of  grain  common  to  the  middle 
portion  of  the  western  world.  It  borders  upon  those  fertile 
prairie  lands  in  the  north  part  of  the  State,  and  partakes  par- 
tially of  the  nature  of  both  timbered  and  prairie  soils.  The 
northern  portion  of  the  county  has  several  small  prairies  in  it, 
which  give  to  it  the  appearance  of  having  been  settled  much 
longer  than  it  really  has.  The  soil  of  these  prairies  is  very  rich 
and  productive,  yielding,  in  favorable  seasons,  immense  crops 
of  corn,  wheat,  rye,  oats  and  barley.  Large  tracts  of  this  prai- 
rie country  are  yet  uncultivated,  and  are  used  principally  for 
grazing  purposes.  Nature  has  furnished  here  to  the  herdsman 
an  inexhaustible  supply  of  nutritious  food  for  his  cattle  and 
horses. 

About  two  thirds  of  Montgomery  county  was  originally  verr 


132 


MONTGOMERY  COUNTY. 


heavily  timbered,  but  much  of  it  has  been  destroyed  in  one  way 
and  another ; yet  there  is  an  abundaruce  still  left  for  all  practical 
purposes,  in  the  way  of  building  and  fencing. 

The  western  part  of  the  county,  and  near  the  principal 
streams,  is  somewhat  hilly  and  broken,  the  north  and  central 
part  undulating,  and  the  east  and  south  level.  The  soil,  with 
scarcely  any  exception,  is  rich  and  very  productive.  There  are 
a few  oak  openings,  or  barrens,  in  the  north  part  of  the  county, 
which  are  of  little  value  for  any  purpose ; however,  the  number 
of  acres  of  this  quality  of  soil  is  so  small  that  it  does  not  affect 
the  general  farming  interests  of  the  county. 

Montgomery  county  is  laid  out  into  eleven  townships,  Union 
township  being  in  the  center,  and  all  the  others  bordering  on  or 
cornering  with  it.  Union  township  is  about  nine  by  twelve 
miles  square ; all  the  others  are  of  medium  size,  and  are  bounded 
on  the  outside  by  the  county  line.  The  county  is  twenty-four 
miles  long,  north  and  south,  and  twenty-one  miles  wide.  It  is 
bounded  on  the  north  by  Tippecanoe  county,  on  the  west  by 
Fountain  and  Parke,  on  the  south  by  Parke  and  Putnam,  and  on 
the  east  by  Hendricks,  Boone  and  Clinton. 

Montgomery  county  was  named  in  honor  of  the  distinguished 
General  Richard  Montgomery,  a man  who  figured  in  the  times 
of  the  American  Revolution  and  sacrificed  his  life  in  the  noble 
cause  of  freedom  at  the  seige  of  Quebec.  The  county  is 
watered  by  Sugar  Creek  and  its  tributaries.  This  stream  used 
to  be  known  by  the  name  of  Rock  River.  It  is  a fine  stream 
of  water,  and  there  are  quite  a number  of  good  mills  located 
upon  it.  Sugar  Creek  is  fed  by  numerous  small  streams  empty- 
ing into  it  on  either  side.  The  main  stream  passes  from  the 
northeast  quarter  of  the  county  to  the  southwest,  passing  into 
Parke  county  about  5 miles  north  of  the  southwest  corner  of 
Montgomery.  It  passes  nearly  exactly  through  the  center  of 
the  county.  The  next  principal  stream  is  the  Walnut  Fork  of 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH. 


133 


Sugar  Creek,  which  empties  into  the  main  stream  near  Craw- 
fordsville. 

The  county  is  well  supplied  with  good  public  highways.  The 
public  improvements  in*the  way  of  school  houses  and  bridges 
are  of  the  most  substantial  character.  There  are  but  few  coun- 
ties in  the  State  as  . well  supplied  with  railroads.  Every  town- 
ship in  the  county,  except  two,  has  a railroad,  and  the  two  ex- 
ceptions are  so  near  to  a road  that  it  may  be  said  that  every 
township  has  a direct  advantage  in  the  way  of  railway  traffic. 
These  roads  all  center  at  Crawfordsville,  making  that  city  a de- 
sirable location  for  manufacturing  enterprises. 

Crawfordsville  is  the  county  seat  of  Montgomery  county,  and 
is  situated  in  its  center.  It  is  a live  town  of  over  4000  inhabi- 
tants, who  are  thoroughly  alive  to  the  interests  of  their  town 
and  county,  and  are  doing  all  they  can  to  improve  the  city  and 
its  surroundings.  It  is  located  on  Rock  River,  familiarly  known 
as  Sugar  Creek.  The  city  has  three  railroads,  making  six  dif- 
ferent points  for  shipments  and  travel.  These  roads  are  now 
building  a magnificent  Union  Depot  at  the  junction,  which  will 
be  completed  this  year.  Unlike  most  other  towns  of  this  size, 
Crawfordsville  takes  great  pride  in  her  streets,  and  in  order  that 
this  part  of  her  work  may  be  more  efficiently  prosecuted,  has 
appointed  a Street  Commissioner.  The  streets  are  broad  and 
well  graded  and  graveled,  and  are  skirted  on  either  side  with 
beautiful  shade  trees  which  lend  an  enchanting  attractiveness  to 
the  city  during  the  summer  months  that  is  almost  picturesque. 
Good  turnpike  roads  lead  from  the  city  in  almost  every  direc- 
tion. . A new  attraction  has  sprung  up  in  Crawfordsville,  which 
in  time  promises  to  be  of  no  small  importance  both  to  the  city 
and  the  public.  This  is  no  less  than  two  medical  or  mineral 
springs,  situated  just  northeast  of  the  town.  Messrs.  Blair  & 
Vancleave  are  busily  engaged  in  improving  and  beautifying  the 
grounds  around  the  springs.  This  place  is  destined  to  be  a re- 
sort for  summer  recreation  and  literary  pursuits.  These  springs 


134 


MONTGOMERY  COUNTY. 


are  already  enclosed  in  light  and  airy  summer-houses,  and  the 
gentlemen  who  have  control  of  them  contemplate  erecting  a five- 
story  hotel  just  north  of  the  springs.  The  building  will  be 
fitted  up  with  all  the  modern  conveniences  of  an  old  established 
watering  place.  The  waters  of  these  springs  seem  to  be  of  en- 
tirely different  ingredients,  and  are  said  to  contain  properties  of 
great  medical  importance. 

Crawfordsville’s  material  resources  for  manufacturing  purposes 
are  equal  to  any  other  town  of  its  size  in  the  State.  She  has 
an  abundance  of  good  timber,  coal,  iron  ore,  limestone,  and 
sand  and  brown  stone.  These  are  all  found  only  a short  dis- 
tance from  the  city.  Manufacturers  would  do  well  to  take  a 
look  at  this  point. 

MORAL  AND  EDUCATIONAL. 

In  the  matter  of  moral  and  scholastic  enterprise,  Crawfords- 
ville  leads  all  other  towns  in  the  State.  With  a population  of 
not  over  five  thousand,  she  has  nine  churches,  a proportion  not 
exceeded  by  any  other  town  in  the  land,  and  a thing  that  she 
may  well  be  proud  of.  The  public  schools  are  conducted  by  an 
able  and  efficient  corps  of  instructors,  and  upon  the  most  ap- 
proved plan.  The  schools  are  located  in  a magnificent  building, 
situated  upon  “Jefferson’s  Square,”  which  has  just  been  com- 
pleted at  a cost  of  ;^6o,ooo. 

But  it  is  in  Wabash  College  that  Crawfordsville’s  pride  and 
glory  culminate,  and  she  has  good  reasons  for  this  pride.  It  is 
one  of  the  best  specimens  of  western  institutions  for  a thorough 
course  of  education.  It  is  located  just  west  of  the  city  limits  of 
Crawfordsville,  in  a campus  containing  thirty-three  acres,  shaded 
with  beautiful  native  forest  trees,  affording  to  the  students  a 
healthful  atmosphere,  as  well  as  abundant  space  for  drill  and 
field  sports.  The  public  buildings  are  four  in  number. 

Center  Hall  contains  the  President’s  Lecture  Room,  the 
Chemical  and  Philosophical  Rooms,  the  Cabinet,  the  Library, 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH. 


135 


the  Society  Halls,  the  Chapel,  with  four  hundred  sittings,  and 
eight  Recitation  Rooms. 

The  Academy  contains  a Public  Hall,  and  two  commodious 
Recitation  Rooms  for  the  use  of  the  Preparatory  Department. 

The  Dormitory  has  recently  been  remodeled,  and  is  essen- 
tially a new  building.  It  now  offers  excellent  accommodations 
for  one  hundred  students. 

The  Polytechnic  Building  contains  the  following  rooms,  viz : 
the  Topographical  Room,  for  models,  designs  and  maps,  and 
for  instruction  in  draughting. 

The  Armory,  for  company  drills,  museums,  fencing,  and  care 
of  arms. 

The  Reading  Room,  open  to  all  students,  and  supplied  with 
an  excellent  selection  of  newspapers  and  magazines. 

The  Gymnasium,  a room  or  hall  one  hundred  feet  each  way, 
well  furnished  with  the  most  approved  gymnastic  apparatus. 

This  Institution  has  had  a singularly  interesting  history,  as  we 
gather  it  from  its  published  documents.  It  was  founded  when 
the  upper  part  of  Indiana  was  almost  an  unbroken  wilderness, 
and  the  other  half  not  a great  deal  better.  The  cities  of  Evans- 
ville, New  Albany,  Terre  Haute,  Madison,  Indianapolis,  Lafay- 
ette, Fort  Wayne,  and  Richmond,  were  then  mere  villages. 
The  highways  of  the  State  were  most  wretched,  and  the  great 
products  of  its  soil  nearly  valueless  because  of  their  inaccesibility 
to  market.  The  entire  country  was  poor,  and  the  Presbyterian 
Church  feeble. 

After  a careful  examination  of  the  subject  a few  men  resolved 
to  found  the  college.  This  was  in  November,  1832.  In  De- 
cember, 1833,  the  institution  was  opened  with  twelve  students. 
The  appeals  for  help  at  the  West  were  as  fully  answered  as  could 
be  expected,  and  it  was  finally  resolved  to  send  an  agent  to  the 
East.  It  was  a season  of  financial  embarrassment,  and  after 
repeated  vain  attempts  to  secure  aid  in  Philadelphia,  New  York 
and  Boston,  the  agent  was  actually  writing  his  resignation  in 


136 


MONTGOMERY  COUNTY. 


order  to  get  some  preaching  engagement  to  procure  money  that 
he  might  pay  his  way  home.  Whilst  writing  his  resignation  a 
hopeful  friend  came  into  the  room  and  advised  him  to  visit 
Andover  for  conference  with  the  Theological  Faculty.  After 
hearing  his  story  they  advised  him  to  appeal  to  the  country 
churches.  He  followed  their  advice  and  raised  several  thou^nd 
dollars.  He  also  induced  the  Rev,  Dr.  Baldwin,  of  New  York, 
to  accept  the  Presidency. 

In  1838  the  principal  building  was  burned,  yet  the  enterprise 
made  progress  in  spite  of  these  embarrassments.  Its  financial 
growth  has  been  very  marked,  so  that  it  is  now  out  of  debt. 
Only  a few  years  ago  a single  individual  donated  ;^50,000  to  the 
institution. 

The  course  of  study  in  this  noble  institution  embraces  a wide 
range,  and  is  thorough  and  complete.  The  faculty  consists  of 
eleven  persons,  as  follows :

COUNTY  ORGANIZED. 

Montgomery  county  was  organized  in  the  year  1823.  The 
first  county  officers  were;  John  Willson,  Clerk  of  the  Circuit 
Court,  Recorder  of  Deeds,  and  Clerk  of  the  Commissioners’ 
Court.  County  Commissioners — William  Offield,  James  Blev- 
ins, John  McCollough.  Sheriff — Samuel  D.  Maxwell. 

PROMINENT  CITIZENS  AND  SETTLERS. 

Maj.  Ambrose  Whitlock  settled  in  Montgomery  county  in  the 
year  1822;  laid  out  the  town  of  Crawfordsville  in  1823;  was 
appointed  Receiver  of  Public  Moneys  by  John  Quincy  Adams, 
in  1825  ; was  an  active  and  efficient  officer  under  old  Anthony 
Wayne;  died  in  Crawford.sville  in  the  month  of  June,  1864, 
aged  96  years.  His  widow,  Mrs.  Whitlock,  died  in  Crawfords- 
ville in  1873,  aged  go  years. 

William  Offield  and  William  Miller  were  the  first  white  set- 
tlers in  Montgomery  county.  Offield  settled  near  the  mouth  of 
Offield’s  Creek,  and  William  Miller  settled  near  the  town  of 
Crawfordsville,  in  1822,  and  built  the  first  house  (round  log 
cabin)  in  the  town.  Offield  left  the  county  in  1836,  and  Mr. 
Miller  died  in  the  city  of  Crawfordsville  at  the  commencement 
of  the  present  year. 

John  Beard  was  born  in  North  Carolina,  January  4,  1795  ; 
moved  to  Montgomery  county,  Indiana,  in  the  year  1823,  set- 
tling near  Crawfordsville,  where  he  still  resides.  In  the  year 
1827  he  was  elected  representative  of  Montgomery  county  in 
the  Legislature,  and  with  a single  exception  was  continued  in 
one  or  the  other  branches  for  fifteen  consecutive  years,  most  of 
the  time  in  the  Senate.  Of  all  the  members  with  whom  he 
served  the  first  term,  but  one  besides  himself  was  living  in  1873, 
Mr.  John  Jones,  of  Center  township,  Wayne  county.  Mr. 
Beard  attained  a high  reputation  as  a legislator.  Bills  for  the 
abolition  of  imprisonment  for  debt,  liberal  exemption  of  prop- 
erty from  execution,  investing  the  Governor  with  power  to  com-

MONTGOMERY  COUNTY. 


mute  capital  punishment  to  imprisonment  for  life,  received  his 
active  and  efficient  support.  He  rendered  good  service  in  the 
passage  of  the  bill  for  the  construction  of  the  Wabash  and  Erie 
Canal. 

The  following  truthful  remarks  in  regard  to  Mr.  Beard  were 
made  by  Hon.  John  Coburn,  member  of  Congress,  at  Moores- 
ville,  Morgan  county,  Ind.,  August  13,  1873:  “I  venture  to 
say  again  that  not  one  man  in  a hundred  in  our  State  knows  the 
name  of  him  who  proposed  that  the  surplus  of  the  proceeds  of 
the  stock  of  the  State  in  the  State  Bank  of  Indiana  should  be  ap- 
propriated as  a school  fund.  He  is  one  of  our  greatest  public 
benefactors,  a venerable,  simple-hearted,  clear-headed,  sound- 
minded  old  gentleman,  living  in  Montgomery  county,  named 
John  Beard.  His  name  ought  to  be  precious  in  the  heart  of 
every  boy  and  girl  who  enjoys  the  benefits  of  free  schools. 
When  he  proposed  the  measure  it  was  hardly  treated  seriously. 
Nobody  thought  anything  would  be  left  as  a surplus  ; he  himself 
doubtless  did  not  realize  its  importance.  But  so  it  was,  he  put 
the  net  where  it  caught  the  golden  fish,  and  we  thank  him  for  it 
ten  thousand  times,  and  we  thank  those  steady,  straightforward, 
strictly  upright  financiers  who  husbanded  these  funds  for  us. 
This  measure  has  been  the  means  of  producing  our  present  fund 
of  $800,000  for  the  support  of  common  schools.” 

Montgomery  county  is  indebted  to  Mr.  Beard  for  the  bridge 
which  spans  Sugar  Creek  near  Sperry’s  mill.  This  noble  work 
was  accomplished  through  the  instrumentality  of  Mr.  Beard 
while  a member  of  the  Senate  in  1839.  Beard  was 

appointed  by  President  Harrison  to  the  office  of  Receiver  of 
Public  Moneys  in  the  Land  Office  at  Crawfordsville,  in  conse- 
quence of  which  he  resigned  the  Senatorship  two  years  before 
the  expiration  of  the  term.  He  held  the  office  until  after  the 
accession  of  Mr.  VanBuren  to  the  Presidency,  and  in  1846  he 
was  returned  to  the  Senate.  The  fact  that  Mr.  Beard  was  one 
of  the  earliest  settlers  in  Montgomery  county  seems  to  justify

a compliance  with  the  expressed  wishes  of  his  old  friends  that 
his  name  be  given  a conspicuous  place  in  the  county’s  history. 

Henry  S.  Lane  was  born  in  Montgomery  county,  Ky.,  in  the 
year  18 ii,  and  commenced  the  study  of  law  in  the  office  of 
General  Sudduth.  In  1833  he  removed  to  Crawfordsville,  com- 
menced the  practice  of  the  law,  and  rose  rapidly  in  his  profes- 
sion. He  continued  the  practice  of  the  law  until  . For 

nearly  — years  of  the  period  of  his  practice  he  was  in  partner- 
ship with  Col.  Samuel  C.  Willson.  He  was  elected  to  the  Leg- 
islature of  Indiana  in  the  year  1837,  and  in  the  year  1840  was 
elected  to  Congress  to  fill  the  vacancy  occasioned  by  the  death 
of  General  Howard,  beating  his  opponent,  E.  A.  Hannegan, 
1400  votes  in  the  district.  In  1841  he  was  again  elected  to  Con- 
gress, beating  his  opponent,  Major  Bruce,  7000  votes  in  the 
district.  In  1846  Mr.  Lane  raised  a company  of  volunteers  for 
Mexico  and  was  elected  captain,  and  before  marching  orders 
were  received  was  appointed  Colonel  of  the  regiment.  In  the 
year  i860  Col.  Lane  was  elected  Governor  of  the  State  of  Indi- 
ana, beating  Thomas  A.  Hendricks  about  9000  votes.  In  the 
winter  of  i860  Col.  Lane  was  elected  by  the  Legislature  to  the 
office  of  Senator  of  the  L^nited  States.  Col.  Lane’s  practice  in 
the  Judicial  District  was  always  large.  The  members  of  the 
bar  in  his  district  exhibited  in  their  composition  more  than  ordi- 
nary legal  talent,  and  composed  a constellation  which  reflected 
a brilliancy  in  every  portion  of  the  State.  Albert  S.  White, 
Rufus  A.  Lockwood,  Joseph  A.  Wright,  Col.  Samuel  C.  Will- 
son  and  Judge  Naylor,  are  all  names  of  commanding  eminence. 
Henry  S.  Lane  came  in  amongst  these  to  add  new  radiance  to 
a galaxy  already  bright. 

Rev.  James  Thomson  was  born  in  Hamilton  county,  Ohio,  in

then  returned  to  Crawfordsville,  where  he  lived  and  preached 
with  great  success.  In  1853  he  moved  to  Mankato,  Minn., 
where  he  preached  the  word  of  life  for  fifteen  years.  He  died  in 
October,  1873,  and  his  remains  were  brought  back  to  Crawfords- 
ville and  deposited  in  Mills’s  Cemetery. 

Wm.  W.  Nicholson  was  one  of  the  first  settlers  in  Ci'awfords- 
ville.  He  left  Kentucky  in  a keel-boat  in  1822,  went  down  the 
Ohio  River  to  the  mouth  of  the  Wabash,  thence  up  the  Wabash 
to  the  mouth  of  Sugar  Creek,  and  from  there  to  Crawfordsville. 
Soon  after  his  arrival  he  started  a tan-yard,  and  opened  a tavern 
in  a log  house.  Mr.  N.  was  industrious,  and  accumulated  con- 
siderable property,  and  died  about  1859,  aged  70  years.

Crawfordsville  in  1824.  Mr.  E.  was  a soldier  in  the  war  of  1812; 
was  engaged  in  the  mercantile  business  for  many  years,  and  for 
the  last  years  of  his  life  was  a successful  banker.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  M.  E.  Church,  and  died  in  1867,  aged  72  years. 
Mrs.  Elston  was  a member  of  the  M.  E.  Church  for  40  years; 
was  an  amiable  Christian  woman,  and  died  of  heart  disease  July 
29,  1874.

He  was  an  excellent  lawyer;  had  considerable  force  of  mind, 
great  compass  of  voice,  nice  discrimination,  strong  judgment, 
and  for  copiousness  and  beauty  of  diction  was  unrivaled  in  the 
State.  No  man  could  grapple  with  him  without  the  most  per- 
fect preparation  and  the  full  possession  of  all  his  strength. 

John  Peterson  settled  in  Sugar  Creek  township,  Montgomery 
county,  in  1829.  In  1872  he  removed  to  Stockwell,  Tippecanoe

The  writer  of  this  sketch,  with  other  old  residents  of  Mont- 
gomery county,  will  doubtless  recollect  the  excitement  in  Craw- 
fordsville during  the  Black  Hawk  war  in  1832.  During  said 
excitement  a report  was  circulated  one  Saturday  evening  that 
the  Indians  were  murdering  and  plundering  the  settlers  on  or 
near  the  Wabash  River,  about  forty  miles  distant  from  Craw- 
fordsville. Col.  Powers,  who  was  at  that  time  commander  of 
the  militia  of  Montgomery  county,  sent  word  to  the  Captains  of 
the  different  companies  in  said  county,  to  appear  in  Crawfords- 
ville on  a certain  day ; and  in  accordance  with  said  instructions 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH. 


143 


the  Captains  and  men  belonging  to  said  companies,  with  many 
others,  assembled  in  Crawfordsville  on  the  day  designated ; so 
that  by  noon  on  said  day  the  town  was  crowded  with  men  and 
boys  who  were  fully  determined  to  give  Black  Hawk  and  his 
followers  a terrible  blow. 

On  the  following  Sabbath,  while  a number  of  our  citizens 
were  seated  in  front  of  John  Mack’s  Hotel,  discussing  the  prob- 
abilities of  a severe  fight  with  Black  Hawk,  a man  by  the  name 
of  Pierce,  who  was  traveling  on  foot  from  Clinton  county  to 
Parke  county,  and  Crawfordsville  being  on  the  direct  route,  it 
was  known  to  a few  of  our  citizens  that  he  would  come  by  the 
way  of  Judge  Ketcham’s  farm  (now  the  Poor  Farm),  and  that 
Pierce  was  very  much  alarmed  about  the  Indians,  looking  on 
each  side  of  the  road  as  he  passed  for  Indians.  Two  mischiev- 
ous boys  hearing  that  Pierce  would  pass  through  town  in  two  or 
three  hours,  dressed  up  in  Indian  style,  painting  their  faces  and 
otherwise  fixing  up  so  as  to  resemble  the  Indians ; with  loaded 
guns  in  hand  they  proceeded  up  the  long  lane  between  Judge 
Ketcham’s  house  and  town,  and  entered  a corn  field  about  two 
hundred  yards  from  the  residence  of  Judge  K.,  and  waited  for 
the  approach  of  Pierce. 

In  a very  short  time  Pierce  made  his  appearance,  and  was 
soon  opposite  the  place  where  the  boys  were  concealed.  After 
he  had  passed  the  point  named  about  seventy-five  yards,  the 
boys  sprang  from  their  concealment,  jumped  the  fence,  fired  off 
the  gun,  and  took  after  Pierce,  who  commenced  running  at  the 
top  of  his  speed.  Such  a foot-race  has  not  been  seen  since  nor 
before. 

Pierce  thought  that  his  life  was  at  stake  and  ran  like  a deer. 
When  he  arrived  at  the  north  side  of  Major  Whitlock’s  improve- 
ment, he  jumped  the  fence  and  continued  his  flight  to  the 
Bowen  corner,  turned  west  and  ran  into  Mack’s  Hotel,  and  as 
he  passed  through  town  he  bellowed  out  “ Injen  ! Injen ! 
Injen !”  and  as  he  entered  the  hotel  he  exhorted  the  men  in 


144 


MONTGOMERY  COUNTY. 


front  of  the  hotel  to  procure  rifles,  shot-guns  and  axes  at  once, 
as  the  Indians  were  but  a few  steps  behind  him.  Pierce  took 
his  position  inside  of  the  hotel,  trembling  and  sweating  great 
drops  of  sweat,  and  could  not  be  induced  to  come  out  in  the 
street.  The  sudden  appearance  of  the  man  alarmed  a number  of 
our  citizens,  but  it  was  soon  ascertained  that  the  Indians  were 
citizens  of  our  own  town;  and  thus  ended  the  first  warlike  dem- 
onstration upon  the  place. 

EARLY  RECORDS. 

The  following  entries  on  order  book  in  the  Auditor’s  office  in 
Montgomery  county,  may  be  interesting  to  some  of  our  readers : 

“ Ordered  by  the  Board  of  Commissioners,  that  Eliakim  Ash- 
ton be  paid  the  sum  of  two  hundred  and  ninety-five  dollars  for 
building  the  Court  House.  August  ii,  1823.” 

“Ordered  by  the  Board  of  Commissioners,  that  William  P. 
Ramey  be  paid  three  dollars  for  his  services  as  lister  of  Mont- 
gomery county,  out  of  any  money  not  otherwise  appropriated. 
August,  1823.” 

“Ordered  by  the  Board  of  Commissioners,  the  following  rate 
of  taxes  be  paid  the  present  year : Every  horse,  mare  or  mule, 

25  cents;  each  yoke  of  oxen,  i8f  cents;  each  silver  watch,  12J 
cents;  each  male  person,  25  cents.  August,  1823.’’ 

We  have  only  to  contrast  the  above  orders  with  those  of  the 
present  day  to  convince  our  minds  that  we  are  growing  in  wealth 
and  population  rapidly. 

The  number  of  votes  polled  at  the  first  election  for  county  of- 
ficers was  sixty-one.  This  was  in  1823.  In  1874  the  number 
of  voters  of  the  county  is  over  six  thousand.

UNION  TOWNSHIP. 


Union  Township  is  located  exactly  in  the  center  of  Mont- 
gomery county ; it  is  large,  and  contains  more  than  one  hun- 
dred square  miles.  Union  township  either  corners  with  or 
borders  on  every  other  township  in  the  county.  The  surface 
is  from  level  to  a hilly.  The  soil  is  generally  good.  The 
township  is  watered  by  Big  Sugar  Creek  and  its  numerous 
branches.  The  public  improvements  are  generally  good. 
Crawfordsville  is  the  principal  town  in  the  township,  and  as  it 
is  the  county  seat,  is  noticed  in  the  historical  sketch  of  the 
county  given  in  this  book.  The  other  towns  are  small  and 
only  of  local  importance ; Whitesville,  on  the  L.  N.  A.  & C. 
R.  R.  is  a very  pleasant  little  village.  The  people  of  Union 
township  are  generally  in  good  circumstances,  moral  and  affable. 
The  city  of  Crawfordsville  contains  a population  of  over  4,000 
inhabitants  and  is  incorporated.  There  are  two  school  houses 
belonging  to  the  city,  valued  at  ^75,000.  The  vote  of  the 
township  is  about  2,200,  the  Republicans  having  a majority.

FRANKLIN  TOWNSHIP.

FRANKLIN  TOWNSHIP. 


Franklin  Township,  in  Montgomery  county,  is  located  on 
the  east  line.  It  is  bounded  on  the  south  by  Walnut  township, 
on  the  north  by  Sugar  Creek  and  on  the  west  by  Union.  It 
contains  36  square  miles,  and  embraces  some  of  the  best  of  lands. 
Spme  parts  of  the  township  are  very  level,  the  soil  being  deep 
and  rich.  Most  of  the  land,  however,  is  gently  undulating, 
and  remarkably  well  adapted  to  grain  and  stock  raising.  There 
are  some  fine  creek  bottoms,  though  small,  which  produce 
abundantly. 

Sugar  Creek  runs  through  the  northwest  corner  of  the  town- 
ship, cutting  off  about  1200  acres  of  land.  On  the  southeast 
side  of  this  creek  the  handsome  little  village  of  Darlington  is 
located.  It  is,  to  all  appearances,  a live  town.  The  L.,  C.  & 
S.  W.  R.  R.  runs  through  this  village,  8 miles  from  Crawfords- 
ville.  Franklin  was  at  one  time  a very  heavily  timbered  town- 
ship, and  must  have  been  well  stocked  with  wild  game,  and 
was  doubtless  a part  of  the  best  hunting  grounds  for  the  red 
man ; but  the  woodman’s  ax,  with  the  aid  of  time,  has  made 
great  changes  along  the  then  wilds  of  Sugar  Creek.  Great  for- 
est trees  have  been  felled  to  the  ground  one  by  one,  until  beau- 
tiful and  well  cultivated  farms  have  come  out  of  the  wilderness 
as  comes  out  the  gay  colored  butterfly  from  the  ugly  worm. 

Franklin  township  is  well  improved,  and  is  truly  a land  of 
plenty.  Shannondale,  a small  village  containing  a few  business 
houses  and  a post  office,  is  located  near  the  southeast  corner  of 
the  township  on  one  of  the  forks  of  Sugar  Creek.  The  vote  of 


ig6 


MONTGOMERY  COUNTY. 


the  township  is  about  430.  The  public  improvements  are  of  a 
fair  character,  although  some  of  the  thoroughfares  become  al- 
most impassible  during  wet  seasons.  The  school  houses  are  in 
good  repair,  and  are  valued  at  about  ;^4300.  Among  the  first 

settlers  of  the  township  were  John  Elmore, McCafferty,  H. 

Wisehart,  W.  Nicholson,  J.  Scott,  E.  Kenworthy  and  the  Cox 
Brothers.

CLARK  TOWNSHIP. 


221 


CLARK  TOWNSHIP. 


Clark  Township  is  located  in  the  southeast  corner  of  the 
county,  and  contains  36  square  miles  of  generally  very  product- 
ive land.  Although  a portion  of  this  township  is  somewhat 
broken  and  not  well  adapted  to  cultivation,  yet  it  is  valuable 
pasture  land.  Other  portions  are  quite  level,  and  might  be 
vastly  improved  by  tile  draining.  This  level  black  land,  when 
properly  drained,  is  the  most  productive  and  lasting  of  any  other 
quality  of  soil,  and  when  once  put  in  a good  state  of  cultivation

applied. 

The  township  is  watered  by  the  head  waters  of  the  Big 
Raccoon  Creek,  which  branches  off  in  numerous  small  creeks  or 
brooklets.  The  personal  improvements  in  this  township  are 
comparatively  good  ; while  the  public  improvements  are  gener- 
ally substantial.  The  township  has  three  post  offices — Ladoga, 
Ashby’s  Mills  and  Forest  Home.  The  most  important  one  of 
these  is  Ladoga,  it  being  a town  of  from  700  to  1000  inhabitants, 
and  is  located  on  Big  Raccoon  and  the  L.,  N.  A.  & C.  R.  R., 
20  miles  north  of  Greencastle  and  12  miles  south  of  Crawfords- 
ville.  The  town  is  built  mostly  of  wooden  buildings. 

The  public  highways  are  quite  numerous,  there  being  one 
east  and  west  for  every  section  line,  and  are  good  in  dry 
weather.  The  bridges  are  good  and  strong.  There  is  one 
gravel  road  in  the  township.

BROWN  TOWNSHIP. 


247 


BROWN  TOWNSHIP. 


Brown  Township,  located  in  the  southwest  corner  of  the 
county,  contains  about  54  square  miles.  It  does  not  lay  in  a 
square,  from  the  fact  that  Sugar  Creek  constitutes  a part  of  its 
boundary  line  on  its  northwest  corner,  making  the  line  irregular 
on  that  corner.  There  is  also,  on  the  north  line  near  the  cen- 
ter of  the  township,  an  offset  of  one  mile  to  the  north,  the  line 
running  from  thence  a due  westerly  course  until  it  strikes  Sugar 
Creek. 

The  southern  part  of  the  township  is  gently  rolling  and  of 
good  soil,  well  adapted  to  all  sorts  of  grain  raising,  and  in  fact, 
take  it  generally,  it  is  a section  of  country  well  calculated  to  re- 
pay the  labors  of  the  farmer  in  every  way  that  farming  may  be 
done.  It  will  produce  good  corn,  wheat,  oats,  rye,  barley, 
buckwheat,  potatoes,  cabbages,  turnips,  beets,  parsnips,  rad- 
ishes, apples,  peaches,  plums,  grapes,  and  every  other  kind  of 
vegetable  and  fruit  common  to  this  climate ; so  that  if  the 
farmer  fails  entirely  to  get  a crop,  it  is  evident  that  he  has  not 
done  his  duty.  The  northern  part  of  the  township  is  considera- 
bly broken,  and  therefore  not  so  good  for  any  but  small  grains, 
which  do  moderately  well.  Judging  from  other  sections  of 
country  where  sheep  raising  is  made  profitable,  we  should  think 
that  that  business  would  yield  a handsome  profit  to  the  woo  1 
grower  in  Northern  Brown  Township.  This  township,  like 
most  others  in  the  southern  part  of  the  county,  was  originally 
covered  with  a dense  heavy  forest  of  good  and  durable  timber, 
but  time,  patience  and  perseverance  have  cleared  away  many

MONTGOMERY  COUNTY. 


mighty  oaks,  poplars,  walnuts  and  other  majestic  towering  trees, 
until  in  the  south  part  of  the  township  there  are  many  fine,  well 
cultivated  farms. 

Brownsville,  a small  town  located  on  the  L.,  C.  & S.  W.  R. 
R.,  is  a very  pleasant  place,  yet,  notwithstanding  it  is  near  the 
center  of  the  township,  it  is  not  to  be  compared,  either  for  size 
or  enterprise,  with  the  town  of  Waveland,  in  the  southwest 
part  of  the  township  and  on  the  same  railroad.  Waveland  is 
said  to  have  a population  of  about  1000.  It  is  a place  of  enter- 
prise and  industry,  besides  the  seat  of  much  learning. 

The  vote  of  the  township  is  515  ; Rep.,  289  ; Dem.,  226. 

There  are  ii  school  houses  and  about  575  scholars  enrolled. 
The  public  school  property  is  valued  at  $6600.

SCOTT  TOWNSHIP. 


Scott  Township  is  bounded  on  the  south  by  Putnam  county, 
on  the  east  by  Clark  township,  on  the  north  by  Union,  and  on 
the  west  by  Brown.  This  township  contains  36  square  miles. 
Some  of  the  head  waters  of  Big  Raccoon  Creek  take  their  rise 
in  the  township,  consequently  a considerable  quantity  of  the 
land  is  hilly,  and  not  of  the  best  quality  for  grain  raising ; al- 
though not  so  broken  but  that  for  pasture  lands  it  is  excellent, 
especially  for  sheep  grazing.  The  township  was  once  very  hea 
vily  timbered,  and  was  the  delight  of  the  fearless  hunter,  for  in 
these  heavy  forests  there  was  abundance  of  game.  The  town- 
ship, however,  is  not  all  hilly  land  ; many  beautiful  farms  may 
be  found  within  its  borders,  lying  gently  undulating,  and  even 
some  nearly  on  a dead  level,  so  that  it  may  be  said  to  have  a 
variety  of  lands,  both  as  to  soil  and  undulation  of  surface. 

The  public  improvements  in  this  township  are  on  an  average 
with  other  well  improved  townships. 

Parkersburg,  a small  town  in  the  southwest  corner,  is  the 
principal  town  of  the  township. 

The  L.,  N.  A.  & C.  R.  R.  strikes  near  the  southeast  corner 
of  the  township,  and  runs  along  near  the  east  line  to  near  a mile 
north  of  Ladoga,  where  it  crosses  into  Scott  Township,  cutting 
off  500  or  600  acres  of  land.  Ladoga,  in  Clark  township,  is 
the  principal  railroad  station  for  the  inhabitants  of  Scott  town- 
ship, there  being  no  other  station  very  near. 

'I'he  vote  of  the  township  is  238 — Republican,  100;  and  Dem- 
ocratic, 138.  There  are  seven  school-houses,  valued  at  $6000, 
all  under  the  care  of  Clayton  Caplinger,  Township  Trustee.

MONTGOMERY  COUNTY. 


RIPLEY  TOWNSHIP. 


Ripley  Township  is  located  in  the  southwestern  part  of  the 
county,  and  is  bounded  by  Fountain  county,  and  Wayne,  Union 
and  Brown  townships  in  Montgomery  county,  and  contains 
about  30  square  miles.  The  west  and  north  lines  are  straight. 
It  has  but  three  boundary  lines.  Sugar  Creek  strikes  it  at  the 
northeast  corner,  and  constitutes  its  boundary  line  from  that  to 
the  southwest  corner ; consequently  it  is  a three-cornered 
township.  The  two  straight  lines  on  its  west  and  north  are 
about  equal.  The  line  on  its  southeast,  made  by  Sugar  Creek, 
is  irregular,  in  consequence  of  the  crookedness  of  the  creek. 

The  soil  of  this  township  is  mostly  good,  and  is  generally 
well  adapted  to  grain  raising.  The  southern  part  is  quite 
broken,  and  seems  to  be  better  adapted  to  grass  and  sheep  rais- 
ing than  for  grain,  although  splendid  wheat  crops  are  sometimes 
harvested  from  this  part  of  the  township.  The  cause  of  the 
broken  nature  of  the  southern  part  is  in  consequence  of  the 
numerous  little  branches  or  creeks  which  find  their  heading  in 
that  section.  Some  of  these  branches  flow  south  and  empty 
into  Sugar  Creek,  while  others  flow  westward  into  Mill  Creek. 
This  Mill  Creek  has  some  head  waters  from  the  northwestern 
part  of  the  township  also.  In  the  northeastern  part  there  are 
one  or  two  little  streams  flowing  southeasterly  and  emptying 
into  Sugar  Creek.  The  northern  portion  of  the  township  is 
more  level,  being  in  many  places  gently  and  agreeably  undula- 
ting, and  is  wonderfully  adapted  to  the  growth  of  all  kinds  of 
grain,  and  every  sort  of  vegetable  grown  in  the  State.  There 


RIPLEY  TOWNSHIP. 


295 


is  a variety  of  soil,  scenery  and  situations  in  this  little  township, 
where  any  one  on  the  hunt  of  a farm  might  find  one  to  meet 
every  fancy. 

Originally  this  township  was  heavily  timbered  with  the  very 
best  of  timber,  and  there  still  remains  a sufficient  supply  for  all 
needful  purposes.  The  public  roads  are  very  good  ; in  fact  all 
the  public  property  is  in  good  repair.  This  township  has  no 
railroad  at  present ; its  nearest  railroad  point  is  at  the  northeast 
corner  near  Yountsville.  There  are  three  post  offices  in  the 
township — Yountsville,  Alamo  and  Lane.  The  first  of  the 
three  seems  to  be  the  principal  place  of  business.  The  people 
of  this  township  are  up  with  other  favored  parts  of  the  count}" 
in  the  way  of  learning  and  intelligence.  The}^  are  generally 
friendly  and  sociable  wdth  strangers. 

This  township  can  boast  of  the  oldest  man  in  the  State  ; his 
name  is  George  Fruits  ; he  now'  lives  twm  miles  west  of  Lane 
Post  Office ; he  was  born  in  Maryland  in  1763,  and  settled  in 
Montgomery  county  in  1815  ; during  the  War  of  1812  he  served 
in  Capt.  Samuel  Lee’s  Compan}",  under  Col.  Noble  ; he  rvas  one 
of  the  frontier  guards,  and  was  wounded  at  the  battle  of  Blue 
Lick,  in  Kentucky,  b}^  a rifle  ball  in  his  leg,  wdiich  he  still  car- 
ries. Mr.  Fruits  is  one  hundred  and  eleven  years  old,  and 
walks  about  the  premises  with  considerable  ease  ; his  wife  is  still 
living,  they  having  been  married  sixty-five  years.  Mrs.  P'ruits 
is  eighty-five  years  old. 

Ripley  township  has  eight  school  houses,  generally  in  good 
repair,  and  are  valued  at  ;^3,500.  Mr.  J.  A.  Clark  is  the  pres- 
ent Township  Trustee.  The  township  voting  population  is 
about  300,  with  a small  Democratic  majority,

they  built  a house  of  worship  for  every  day  in  the  year,  and 
two  over  ; this  would  be  367  houses  in  one  year.  If  all  other 
denominations  of  different  sorts  of  worship  wmuld  do  as  well,  we

should  soon  have  no  scarcity  of  places  where  we  might  worship 
our  Creator  under  a roof  of  human  mechanism  ; we  might,  also, 
have  within  our  reach  houses  where  various  manners,  systems 
and  customs  are  practiced,  so  that  if  we  should  feel  disposed,  in

MONTGOMERY  COUNTY. 


COAL  CREEK  TOWNSHIR 


Coal  Creek  Township  is  located  in  the  northwest  corner  of 
Montgomery  county,  and  contains  54  square  miles.  The  sur- 
face is,  in  general,  quite  level,  and  in  wet  seasons  the  public 
highways  are  almost  impassible  in  many  places.  The  northern 
part  of  the  township  is  prairie,  with  here  and  there  a grove  of 
small  timber.  There  is  really  but  little  good  timber  in  the 
township.  The  soil  is  generally  deep,  rich  and  dark,  and  with 
thorough  cultivation  produces  large  crops  of  corn,  wheat,  oats 
and  rye. 

Coal  Creek  township  is  yet  in  its  infancy,  so  far  as  improve- 
ments are  concerned.  We  can  see  no  good  reason  why  this 
township  should  not,  in  time,  be  one  among  the  most  produc- 
tive in  the  county.  The  northern  part  is  occupied,  at  present, 
by  men  who  graze  considerable  numbers  of  cattle. 

The  township  is  watered  by  a creek  called  Coal  Creek,  which 
is  quite  small.  There  are  other  insignificant  brooklets.  It  has 
three  post-offices — New  Richmond,  Pleasant  Hill,  and  Boston 
Store. 

The  township  vote  is  about  403 — 176  Republican,  and  227 
Democrat. 

There  are  1 1 school-houses  in  the  township,  valued  at  ^6500.

roads  are  numerous  and  kept  in  good  repair.  Church  and 
school  privileges  are  good.  The  people  are  moral,  generous 
and  courteous.  The  township  was  settled  in  1822  by  people 
from  Ohio  and  Kentucky.  Mrs.  Rachel  Bryant  taught  the  first 
school  in  her  own  little  log  cabin.  Among  the  old  inhabitants 
are  Mary  Morrell,  Elizabeth  Fowler,  Hannah  Moore,  Mary

MONTGOMERY  COUNTY. 


WALNUT  TOWNSHIP. 


Walnut  Township  is  located  on  the  east  line  of  the  county 
in  the  southeast  quarter.  It  is  bounded  on  the  east  by  Boone 
county,  on  the  north  by  Franklin  township,  on  the  west  by 
Union,  and  on  the  south  by  Clark.  Walnut  is  a favored  town 
ship,  being  well  supplied  with  all  that  is  necessary  to  constitute 
it  a desirable  place  for  the  agriculturist.  The  soil  is  rich,  and 
produces  abundantly.  The  timber  in  this  township  is  of  the 
best  quality,  and  is  largely  manufactured  into-  building  material, 
staves  and  headings. 

A small  stream,  one  of  the  tributaries  of  Sugar  Creek,  runs 
through  Walnut  township  near  its  center.  It  is  only  valuable 
for  stock  water  and  drainage.  The  public  highways  are  good, 
except  in  the  low  grounds  in  wet  seasons.  The  people  are 
well  supplied  with  school  houses,  churches  and  lodges. 

New  Ross,  in  the  southeast  corner  of  the  township,  is  a live 
and  beautiful  place.  Its  people  are  intelligent,  affable  and  en- 
terprising. The  town  is  yet  quite  small,  but  the  prospects  are 
very  flattering  for  a place  of  some  notoriety,  as  there  is  to  be  a 
junction  of  railroads  just  east  of  the  town.  This  addition  will 
evidently  be  considerable  advantage  to  the  already  interesting 
village  of  New  Ross. 

We  must  not  leave  this  history  without  making  mention  con- 
cerning a boy  that  we  met  at  this  place.  It  is  so  very  seldom 
that  we  meet  persons  whose  every  feature  and  deed  show 
honest  intentions,  that  when  we  do  occasionally  come  in  con- 
tact with  one  of  this  sort  we  feel  inclined  to  tell  others  of  it.

This  boy  is  young  and  handsome ; he  is  manly  and  noble  in  his 
thoughts,  and  if  we  mistake  not,  will  do  to  trust  in  any  position. 
This  boy  is  now  a clerk  in  a dry  goods  store  at  New  Ross ; his 
name  is  Marcus  B.  Fraizer;  his  name  and  age  are  givpn  in  this 
directory.

western  part  of  the  township.  There  are  also  several  churches 
in  the  country,  all  supplied  with  good  ministers.  Sabbath  schools 
and  teachers,  so  that  Walnut  township  is  well  up  in  the  scale  of 
morals.

MADISON  TOWNSHIP.

MADISON  TOWNSHIP. 


Madison  is  the  center  township  on  the  north  line  of  the 
county.  It  is  6 miles  square,  and  contains  36  square  miles. 
The  surface  of  the  township  is  level  or  gently  undulating.  The 
north  part  is  mostly  prairie,  and  is  largely  used  for  grazing 
purposes,  though  the  soil  is  very  rich  and  well  adapted  to  grain 
raising.  Corn,  wheat,  oats  and  barley  may  be  abundantly  pro- 
duced. Like  most  other  townships  in  the  northern  part  of  the 
county,  Madison  would  be  wonderfully  improved  by  tile  drain- 
ing. There  are  no  streams  of  water  of  any  importance,  except 
as  stock  water,  in  the  township.  The  southern  part  of  the 
township  is  tolerably  well  timbered. 

The  public  roads  are  very  good.  The  L.,  N.  A.  &.  C. 
R.  R.  runs  through  the  township  from  north  to  south,  about 
one  mile  from  its  west  line.  Linden,  situated  on  the  above 
named  railroad,  is  the  principal  town.  It  is  a very  pretty  little 
place,  inhabited  by  an  enterprising  class  of  people.  The  inhab- 
itants of  the  township  generally  are  moral,  intelligent  and  so- 
ciable. They  are  also  alive  to  the  welfare  of  the  township  in 
the  way  of  education  and  morals,  being  well  supplied  with  good 
school  houses  and  churches.  The  Grange  order  seems  to  be 
thriving  under  the  management  of  cool  and  clear  headed  farm- 
ers. Altogether,  Madison  township  is  a desirable  section  of 
country  for  one  who  cultivates  the  soil  and  desires  fat  returns 
for  his  labor.  In  the  town  of  Linden  there  are  two  churches, 
one  Masonic  and  one  Odd  Fellows  Lodge,  all  in  a thriving  con- 
dition.

SUGAR  CREEK  TOWNSHIR 


Sugar  Creek  is  the  northeast  corner  township  of  Montgomery 
county.  It  contains  36  square  miles,  and  is  divided  into  sec- 
tions of  one  mile  square  ; eaeh  one  of  these  square  miles  or  sec- 
tions contain  640  acres  of  land ; each  640  acres  of  land  multi- 
plied by  36  gives  Sugar  Creek  township  23,040  acres.  Each 
one  of  these  sections  is  numbered,  beginning  at  the  northeast 
corner  and  running  back  and  forth  east  and  west,  until  the 
whole  is  numbered.  Thus  are  all  townships  laid  out  in  sections 
and  numbered.  We  give  the  above  information  for  the  benefit 
of  the  younger  class  of  people,  and  it  may  be  that  a few  older 
ones  can  profit  thereby. 

The  south  half  of  Sugar  Creek  township  is  somewhat  rolling ; 
the  north  half  undulating  to  level.  The  northern  part  is  mostly 
prairie,  and  is  used  largely  for  grazing  purposes ; while  the  mid- 
dle and  southern  part  is  better  adapted  to  the  cultivation  of  the 
various  grains  common  to  that  region  of  country.  The  soil 
throughout  the  township  is  remarkably  rich  and  productive. 

This  was  the  last  township  settled,  consequently  it  is  com- 
paratively new,  yet  the  people  have  made  fair  progress  in  the 
way  of  improvements,  and  many  well  regulated  farms  and  hand- 
some dwellings  may  be  seen  within  its  borders.  The  southern 
part  of  the  township  is  tolerably  well  timbered.  The  southeast 
corner  is  watered  by  Sugar  Creek,  which  cuts  off  a small  corner 
of  the  township,  dowser’s  Mills  are  located  on  this  creek. 
There  is  also  a post  office  there  by  the  same  name.  Potato 
Creek  runs  through  near  the  center  of  the  township.  There  is

a small  village  located  upon  Potato  Creek,  near  the  western  line 
of  the  township,  which  is  also  called  Potato  Creek  Post  Office. 

The  inhabitants  of  Sugar  Creek  township  are  industrious, 
courteous  and  of  good  moral  standing ; they  are  alive  to  educa- 
tional interests  and  public  enterprises  generally. 

The  vote  of  the  township  is  nearly  300,  a large  majority  being 
Republicans. 

The  township  has  eight  school  houses,  all  good  buildings, 
valued  at  about  ,^8,000.  These  are  under  the  care  of  Dr.  J.  A. 
Berryman,  present  Township  Trustee.

395 


HOMESTEAD  LAW. 


By  act  of  Congress  of  May  20,  1862,  any  person  who  is  the 
head  of  a family,  or  who  has  arrived  at  the  age  of  twenty-one 
years,  or  has  performed  service  in  the  army  or  navy,  and  is  a 
citizen  of  the  United  States,  or  shall  have  filed  his  declaration 
of  intention  to  become  such,  and  has  never  borne  arms  against 
the  Government  of  the  United  States,  or  given  aid  and  comfort 
to  its  enemies,  shall,  from  and  after  the  ist  of  January,  1863,  be 
entitled  to  enter  a quarter  section  (160  acres)  of  unappropriated 
public  land,  upon  which  he  or  she  may  have  already  filed  a pre- 
emption claim,  or  which  is  subject  to  pre-emption,  at  ;^i.25  per 
acre;  or  80  acres  of  unappropriated  lands,  at  $2.50  per  acre. 
In  order  to  make  his  or  her  title  good  to  such  lands,  however, 
such  person  must  make  affidavit  that  such  application  is  made 
for  his  or  her  exclusive  use  and  benefit,  and  that  said  entry  is 
made  for  the  purpose  of  actual  settlement  and  cultivation,  and 
not,  either  directly  or  indirectly,  for  the  use  or  benefit  of  any 
other  person  or  persons  whomsoever ; and  upon  filing  the  affida- 
vit, and  paying  the  sum  of  ten  dollars  to  the  register  or  receiver, . 
such  person  shall  be  allowed  to  enter  the  land  specified  ; but  no 
certificate  or  patent  is  issued  for  the  land  until  five  years  from 
the  date  of  such  entry,  and  the  land  must,  during  that  time,  be 
improved  and  not  alienated  (it  can  not  be  taken  for  debt). 

At  any  time  within  two  years  after  the  expiration  of  said  five

years,  the  person  making  the  entry,  or,  in  case  of  his  or  her 
death,  his  widow  or  heirs,  may,  on  proof  by  two  witnesses  that 
he  or  she  has  cultivated  or  improved  said  land,  has  not  alienated 
any  part  of  it,  and  has  borne  true  allegiance  to  the  United 
States,  be  entitled  to  a patent,  if  at  that  time  a citizen  of  the 
United  States.  In  case  of  the  abandonment  of  the  lands  by  the 
person  making  the  entry,  for  a period  of  more  than  six  months 
at  one  time,  they  revert  to  the  United  States.

The  Amendment  proposed  to  the  Constitution,  June  8,  1866. 

ARTICLE  XIV. 

Section  i.  All  persons  born  or  naturalized  in  the  United 
States,  and  subject  to  the  jurisdiction  thereof,  are  citizens  of  the 
United  States,  and  of  the  State  wherein  they  reside.  No  State 
shall  make  or  enforce  any  law  which  shall  abridge  the  privileges 
or  immunities  of  citizens  of  the  United  States;  nor  shall  any 
State  deprive  any  person  of  life,  liberty  or  property,  without  due 
process  of  law,  nor  deny  to  any  person  within  its  jurisdiction  the 
equal  protection  of  the  laws. 

Sec.  2.  Representatives  shall  be  apportioned  among  the 
several  States  according  to  their  respective  numbers,  counting 
the  whole  number  of  persons  in  each  State,  excluding  Indians 
not  taxed.  But  when  the  right  to  vote  at  any  election  for  the 
choice  of  electors  for  President  and  Vice  President  of  the  United 
States,  Representatives  in  Congress,  the  executive  and  judicial 
officers  of  a State,  or  the  members  of  the  Legislature  thereof,  is 
denied  to  any  of  the  male  inhabitants  of  such  State,  being 
twenty-one  years  of  age,  and  citizens  of  the  United  States,  or  in 
any  way  abridged,  except  for  participation  in  rebellion  or  other 
crime,  the  basis  of  representation  therein  shall  be  reduced  in  the 
proportion  which  the  number  of  such  male  citizens  shall  bear  to 
the  whole  number  of  male  citizens  twenty-one  years  of  age  in 
such  State. 

Sec.  3.  No  person  shall  be  a Senator  or  Representative  in 
Congress,  or  Elector  of  President  and  Vice  President,  or  hold 


398

any  office,  civil  or  military,  under  the  United  States,  or  under 
any  State,  who,  having  previously  taken  an  oath,  as  a member 
of  Congress,  or  as  an  officer  of  the  United  States,  or  as  a mem- 
ber of  any  State  Legislature,  or  as  an  executive  or  judicial  officer 
of  any  State,  to  support  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States, 
shall  have  engaged  in  insurrection  or  rebellion  against  the  same, 
or  given  aid  or  comfort  to  the  enemies  thereof.  But  Congress 
may,  by  a vote  of  two-thirds  of  each  house,  remove  such  disa- 
bility. 

Sec.  4.  The  validity  of  the  public  debt  of  the  United  States, 
authorized  by  law,  including  debts  incurred  for  payment  of  pen- 
sions and  bounties  for  services  in  suppressing  insurrection  or  re- 
bellion, shall  not  be  questioned.  But  neither  the  United  States 
nor  any  State  shall  assume  or  pay  any  debt  or  obligation  incurred 
in  aid  of  insurrection  or  rebellion  against  the  United  States,  or 
any  claim  for  the  loss  or  emancipation  of  any  slave  ; but  all 
such  debts,  obligations  and  claims  shall  be  held  illegal  and  void. 

Sec.  5.  The  Congress  shall  have  power  to  enforce,  by  ap- 
propriate legislation,  the  provisions  of  this  article. 

The  amendment  passed  the  Senate  by  a vote  of  33  yeas  to  1 1 
nays,  and  the  House  by  a vote  of  138  yeas  to  36  nays.

shall  not  be  denied  or  abridged  by  the  United  States  or  by  any 
State  on  account  of  race,  color,  or  previous  condition  of  servi- 
tude. 

Sec.  2.  The  Congress  shall  have  power  to  enforce  this  ar- 
ticle by  appropriate  legislation.
